personal fragrances (perfume, cologne, deodorants) to enhance their
Shabbat experience. Please be aware that fragrances can be harmful
to the health of our Bayit family, and in recent times, a number of
congregants have shared with our staff that they often experience
respiratory or allergic reactions to the fragrances. Please consider
reducing or eliminating your fragrance use when you are in the Bayit.
