All chametz sold through Darkhei Noam will be repurchased
about an hour after chag.

We will meet each day for Shacharit at MCS (150 West 85 Street) - see times above; you must register in order to attend. Weather permitting, we will move to Central Park (@85th Street) for Musaf - see times above; you do not need to register for Musaf. In the event of inclement weather, Musaf will be held at MCS for those who signed up for Shacharit and will follow the "rules" in place for indoor davening.

Bring your own siddur, chumash, tallit, and kippah.
Space is limited (at Shacharit) for social distancing. Davening will proceed at a brisk pace without communal singing. 

*Face masks which fully cover your nose and mouth must be worn at all times and social distancing guidelines followed at all in-person gatherings.
*There will be very limited singing by the chazan, and none by others in attendance.
*You may not attend if any member of your household is under quarantine.
