COVID-19 Policies

The Health and Safety of Our Community

Nothing is more important than the health and safety of the Ohr Kodesh (OKC) community and communal responsibility is critical to ensuring that safety. For this reason, we have implemented policies and procedures for all in-person activities. 

The OKC community continues to be mindful that individuals continue to have varying risks in regards to COVID-19.  So we form policies and ask the membership to be guided by our core values: Derekh Eretz (Respect and Courtesy), Chesed (Acts of Kindness) and Kehillah Kedosha (Sacred Community).
