Covid Precautions
Anyone who had symptoms of Covid-19, or who has a household member with a confirmed or suspected case of Covid-19, that began within the last 10 days, must not attend in person. You're welcome to register for the 7pm livestream of megillah reading.
During the family program (5:15-6:30pm) and main party (8:00-10:30pm), masking will be optional.
To be more inclusive of community members who have health concerns, during ma`ariv (evening service), any full megillah reading, and in the masked party room, everyone age 5+ must wear a surgical or higher-quality mask (KN-95, KF-94, etc). In those settings, children 2-4 should try to wear any mask they'll keep on. We'll provide masks for those who don’t have.
After megillah reading concludes and folks have had a chance to leave the room, those staying for dinner or the main party are welcome to remove their masks.
Both the Tranzac and Makom have HEPA filters.
Accessibility Information
We welcome participants of all abilities. The Tranzac is wheelchair accessible. Makom's main space is wheelchair accessible; unfortunately, the washroom and playroom are not. If you have an accessibility need or require any accommodations, please reach out to us.
