Shabbat External Event Participation Request Form

This form is to be used when requesting an exemption to participate as a CJC community in an external activity that takes place on Shabbat.
How a request will be considered
Decisions regarding a request for a waiver of this Shabbat and Hag policies to allow participation as a CJC community in a secular activity on Shabbat, will be made by a subcommittee of the Religious Practices Committee, which will include the Chair of the Religious Practices Committee, and CJC President.
 
Unless the event is emergent and scheduled on short notice, the request from the CJC Sponsor should come to the Religious Practices Committee Chair at least 6 weeks prior to the event.  Requests presented on short-notice will be considered on an expedited case-by-case basis.
 
Responses will be provided within ten days or sooner if necessary.
 
Please note
  1. CJC will not sponsor activities requiring exchange of money on Shabbat.
  2. CJC will not sponsor secular activities on the following ḥagim: Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Shmini Atzeret, Simchat Torah, Pesach and Shavuot.
