Houses of worship in the Twin Counties are gearing up for a very different holiday season this year as the community continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Congregation Anshe Emeth, 240 Joslen Boulevard, Hudson, is having its regular in-person Shabbat services Friday at 7 p.m., and Saturday at 10 a.m., with a Hanukkah service, but no Hanukkah party this year, Rabbi Daniel Fried said. Very few people come to services, he added.
âUnfortunately, due to the circumstances, everything had to be limited,â Fried said.
The congregation will not be incorporating food into the celebration this year, which they typically do.
