In Person
Would You Like to Attend Our Worship Services In-Person?
As your spiritual home, we at Congregation Adat Reyim are committed to the implementation of coronavirus policies that we believe will keep you and our community as safe as possible. We follow the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), Fairfax County, as well as our own On-Site Activities Committee comprised of specialists in the fields of medicine, public health, and facilities/operations.
Fairfax County and all surrounding counties are at a LOW community level according to the new CDC metrics announced at the beginning of March 2022. Effective Wednesday, March 16, 2022, wearing a mask will be optional for all areas of the synagogue with the following exceptions: Masks will be required in the building between the hours of 8:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. Monday – Friday and 9 a.m. – 12 noon Sundays. As the preschool encompasses the entire facility while in session, we are retaining mask restrictions while in session as young children are not yet eligible for vaccination. Upon receipt of any changes in guidance by the Virginia Department of Health and Fairfax County health department and following a thorough review of the operational implications, a communique will be sent directly to preschool families with any updates to masking policies.
In addition, those attending Adat Reyim programs throughout the community will also have the choice whether to wear a mask. Our outdoor areas will also be mask optional.
For those needing or desiring a mask-only environment, Room A (the Oneg Room) will be set up as an alternative mask-only seating area during services.
We have also removed social distancing requirements in our building.
Should we identify substantial increases in cases in our community, we reserve the right to reassess our policies and make changes as needed.
We thank you for your continued trust in and support of Congregation Adat Reyim as we evaluate and implement policies which align with science and changing community protocol.

This VIRTUAL program is sponsored by our Adult Education Committee. Speaker: Shy Askenazi, Senior Community Shaliach for the Pozez JCC of Northern Virginia Eretz Yisrael has always been a pillar of Jewish life, a Jewish center, and a place of aspiration. How was this connection formed and re-formed throughout time? How does this connection play a part in Diaspora Jewry lives, and where does tension come in? In this session we will explore these questions, and more, through a theory of five "landscapes" of Israel. About the speaker: Shy Ashkenazi, born and raised in Jerusalem, Israel, is the Senior Community Shaliach for the Pozez JCC of Northern Virginia through The Jewish Agency for Israel. Shy has been working in Israel and Jewish education for the past 14 years in Jewish summer camps and communities, holds a B.A in Education and Theater from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and is now pursuing a master's degree in Israel Education in GW university. Shy is a singer-songwriter and an actor, and has combined his skills from the performing arts in his work with teens and adults in Israel engagement. -
