Updated as of 1/21/25:

When the CDC Level of Respiratory Illness Activity for NY State is low or medium:

  • Indoors: masking is optional but encouraged

  • Please do not attend with respiratory/flu symptoms

  • For Malkhut Mishpacha and other events in community members’ homes, there may be additional COVID measures which will be communicated on the specific event’s registration form.


When the CDC Level of Respiratory Illness Activity for NY State is high or very high, we will reinstate the following safety measures:

  • Indoors: masking is required for adults, and children above the age of 2

    • For Malkhut & Me (ages 2-5): We understand that young children are not accustomed to masking and may not be able to mask in an effective way. Parents can use their own judgment regarding whether to have their child/ren mask, but please stay home if you or your child/ren are exhibiting symptoms (fever, COVID, or flu).

  • Outdoors: masking is always optional

  • Clergy/prayer leaders/musicians may be unmasked as necessary, but if they are symptomatic they will test on the day of services

  • Please do not attend with a fever, COVID or flu symptoms

  • For some events with indoor meals, we may require you to take a same-day rapid test prior to your arrival. Please follow instructions in communications from specific events.


Informed by the CDC, Malkhut recommends that all people use core prevention strategies to protect themselves and others from COVID-19:

  • Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines.

    • Although vaccinated people sometimes get infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, staying up to date on COVID-19 vaccines significantly lowers the risk of getting very sick, being hospitalized, or dying from COVID-19.

  • Practice good hygiene (practices that improve cleanliness)

  • Take steps for cleaner air
