Announcements

Mincha/Kabbalat Shabbat will continue to be held at 7:00 PM until September 15! Please join this Shabbat and enjoy a beautiful davening, thoughtful Torah study, and a wonderful community.

In these tragic and scary times we stand with all those victimized by senseless hatred and fanaticism, at home, in Israel, and abroad. We pray for safety, healing, and peace.

We wish Blessings of Consolation to the Arfe/Feld family on the loss of our long-time member Beulah Arfe Feld. The funeral was held at the synagogue on Sunday. Shiva will be observed at 155 East 4th Street, Apartment 3-D, through Friday afternoon.

We wish a Mazel Tov to Rachel & Ranaan Laufer on the birth of a baby girl.

Tisha B'Av begins THIS Monday night, July 31st. (You may wish to click here for Rabbi Bellino's fasting tips).

Help us hire the perfect youth leader to run a Bi-weekly (every other) Shabbat morning program for children ages 2-5. This is a paid position; experience with children/education is a plus. This is a unique leadership opportunity to create, develop, and maintain a children's program through working with community leadership. Please email us any recommendations.

Please continue to assist our weekday morning Minyan. Consider increasing your commitment to community and synagogue by attending, especially while many of us congregants are away for the summer..

Our plentiful and delicious Kiddushes on Sixth Street greatly enhance our synagogue and community. To sponsor or to co-sponsor a Friday night Kiddush, a Shabbat Kiddush, a Shabbocktail, our Shabbat Shabeer supply, or a Seudah Shelishit, contact Rabbi Bellino. The next available Kiddush for sponsorship is August 12th (Ekev).
