Reply To: The “New Normal” for Shul During the Yamim Noraim

It doesn’t hurt to take an antibody test so that you will know.. If you stayed inside and had no contact with anyone you probably don’t have the antibodies. As far as blocking off every other seat you would need to block off about 75 percent of the seats in order to maintain social distancing. A 5:30 minyan is not an option as many wouldn’t get up that early. Remember people are paying for these seats A small private minyan less than 50 people is preferred as opposed to a large shul minyan and avoid talking to others in the aisle, lobby and courtyard of the shul as these are areas where it’s more likely to catch the disease
