In-Person Services at AJ 
All services will be conducted in person at AJ. At this time, all services will be available via Zoom. Please continue to register for Friday evening and Saturday morning services by using the link(s) in the first bullet below, or by using the service sign-up form link in the weekly email. Your registration will help us keep the building secure.

Our current COVID-19 guidelines are:

  • Pre-register for services by completing the April online registration form or by calling the office at 215.635.6611.
  • Use hand sanitizer before entering the sanctuary. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the building.
  • Vaccinations and boosters: While all those eligible to receive COVID vaccinations and boosters are strongly encouraged to do so, vaccination against COVID is no longer a requirement to attend AJ services and events.
  • Masking: Currently, the community COVID level in Montgomery County is "Low." As long as the level remains either “Medium” or “Low”, masking will be optional. Should the level become “High,” masking will be mandatory. For current community levels according to the CDC, please click the link below and use the drop-down menu to check for Montgomery County. This link will also be posted in the AJ weekly email.

PLEASE NOTE: We ask that all attendees of services and events at AJ agree to the following: By attending services or events at AJ, all attendees confirm that you have not tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 10 days.

If you have had COVID or have been exposed to someone with COVID, please use the CDC COVID calculator link below to determine whether you need to isolate or mask. This link will also be in the AJ weekly email.

If you tested positive for COVID, and are not able to utilize the CDC COVID calculator, here are the isolation/masking guidelines:

  • You may not come into the AJ building for 5 days following the day you develop symptoms or, in the absence of symptoms, the day you test positive. 
  • You may come into the AJ building on day 6 following the day you develop symptoms and/or test positive, provided that you are feeling better and have been fever-free for 24 hours. (Per CDC, the day you first have symptoms, or, if you were asymptomatic, the day you test positive is considered day “0”.)
  • You must wear a high-filtration (N95/KN95) mask inside the building through day 10 following the day you test positive.
