CSK COVID UPDATE

CSK continues to monitor Covid in our area. Currently, the rates of transmission in Palm Beach County are low. We encourage those in our building to remain vigilant as Covid and other illnesses affect all of us. The wearing of masks and vaccinations for Covid is optional for those in our building. 


Due to technical difficulties with our computer equipment in the sanctuary, we are temporarily suspending Zoom for Shabbat services until we can resolve these issues. We apologize for any inconvenience.
