Welcome to the CTJC

There will be no Shabbat services for the time being

It is with great regret that we have decided to cease services for at

least the next few weeks. This has been a very difficult decision. The

committee and I are very aware of the importance of services and the

limited, face to face, social contact that comes with them.

Although services are allowed under tier 4, the Office of the Chief

Rabbi recommend that those over 70 should no longer attend. There are

also a number of regular congregants under 70 who feel uncomfortable

attending at the moment. This would make forming a minyan problematic,

and potentially put pressure on those with reservations to participate.

In addition to this, the committee is concerned about the new variant of

Covid. Last Friday, Covid rates in Cambridge had doubled from 99 to 196

per 100K in a week. There is great concern about this trend.

The Committee has decided to review our decision about services in the

light of Covid rates in Cambridge in a few weeks’ time.
