Am Shalom requires a current certificate of insurance and proof of vaccination from all vendors.

Am Shalom works hard to ensure the safest environment for all who enter. Per Covid Healthy and Safety Task Force mandates, we may require proof of vaccination for all b’nai mitzvah service in-person attendees. All who are age eligible and not vaccinated must provide evidence of a negative covid test taken within 24 hours of entering the building. Guests and Vendors may be asked upon entry. Please initial below to indicate your acknowledgment of the above.

* Currently, masks are recommended for everyone in attendance. To ensure a safer environment, Am Shalom follows the CDC's community risk index to inform the mask requirement. You may check the status using this link: https://dph.illinois.gov/covid19/data/community-level.html If you have questions about the mask policy for the day of your service, please speak to your officiating rabbi at your final rehearsal.
