URI Hillel - COVID Safety Guidelines
7/25/2022
As we continue best practices for staying healthy, we embrace the value of pikuach nefesh, the primacy of the sanctity of life. We take this obligation seriously and will do all we can to provide safe spaces to gather as we continue to build Jewish community at URI.
The details below describe procedures which are currently in place. These guidelines apply to the Hillel building, all events hosted in the Hillel building, and all organizations using space at the Hillel building. Our COVID policies are reviewed regularly to take into consideration evolving CDC recommendations and URI policies. We reserve the right to change these policies at any time.
If you become sick/think you are sick
Accommodating unvaccinated students
Students who are unable to obtain the COVID-19 vaccine for medical reasons must show proof of exception to a Hillel staff member. Upon approval, these students will be permitted to attend Hillel events with the following requirements: (1) proof of a negative test within 24-36 hours; (2) masking for the entirety of the event or engagement.

- Proof of vaccination is required to attend all events.
- Registration is required for all events. Registration information will be on the website, in the weekly email, and on Instagram (URI_Hillel).
- Face coverings are currently optional at Hillel and in most campus locations. However, continued use of face coverings is still encouraged for those who are immunocompromised, at high risk for severe disease, have children or others in their home who cannot be vaccinated, or are for any other reason wearing a mask.
- At large crowded events, Hillel staff reserves the right to require masks for the safety of all attendees.
If you become sick/think you are sick
- Please do not go to Hillel if you are feeling sick, have a temperature, or have recently been exposed to any illness, including COVID-19.
- If you have any symptoms of any illness and have recently attended a Hillel event or meeting, please notify someone on the Hillel staff immediately, so we can discuss if you have been in contact with anyone else at Hillel. We will make every effort to keep your identity confidential as we share information with those you may have been in contact with.
- If you have tested positive with Covid-19, please use the necessary time to recuperate. Please follow URI guidelines regarding self-isolation. After your isolation period, we welcome you back to Hillel.
- Let us know how we can help! We would love to send food, help with academic accommodations or anything else you need so you can focus on healing.
