As we implement 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 ASU.
The details below describe procedures which will be in place for fall 2021 until further notice. 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 ASU policies. We reserve the right to change these policies at any time.

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. The communication will look something like: “Dear student, You were recently at a Hillel event where someone may be/has tested positive for COVID-19. Please monitor your symptoms over the next 7 days.”
- If you have tested positive with Covid-19, please use the necessary time to recuperate. Please follow CDC guidelines. If you test positive for COVID, we request you follow CDC guidelines and self isolate for 10 days after onset of symptoms and 24 hours fever free. After your isolation period, we welcome you back to Hillel. If you were an asymptomatic positive, we request you follow the same CDC guidelines for 10 days of isolation, and we look forward to seeing you when the isolation period is over.
- 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.
