News

 

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 a continued Mazal Tov to Rachel & Raanan Laufer upon the birth of their daughter.

 

We are saddened by the passing of our friend, Esther Hudes, a long time member of the Young Israel of Fifth Avenue / Sixteenth Street Synagogue.

 

We are grateful to all those who helped to make this Tisha B'Av special: Alan Feder, Harris Marks & Dr. Yehoshua Livnat for their reading of Megillat Eicha; Rabbi Aviad Bodner for his informative class on changes to the Nachem prayer; the members of the Stanton Street Synagogue who joined us during the day; and the very many who participated in our services and classes throughout the fast.

 

Rosh Hashana is only seven weeks away, and so we ask that you renew your commitment to our synagogue in the form of Membership. Membership dues go a long way in making possible all of our synagogue's accomplishments. Won't you please share in our great legacy and help us continue our impressive revitalization?

Family membership includes two free seats. Individual membership includes one free seat. Additional seats for members are $125 and all seats for non-members are $250.

 

We are grateful to the many of you who have already paid their membership dues. To make a payment, please go to the donation page on our website, or send a check to the synagogue office. To discuss membership or any special seating needs that you may have, please call the office (212-473-3665) or e-mail us at info@sixthstreetsynagogue.org. We plan to provide childcare, so please indicate how many children and on which days they will be joining us.


There are, of course, various membership options and we hope that one works for you. 

 

Level Dues
Family $900
Individual $500
Associate $300
Student $150

 

Should you prefer, membership payments may be made in installments. This is easily set up through our website (sixthstreetsynagogue.org). Payment may be made on the site, or by mailing a check to 325 East 6th Street, New York, NY 10003). Should you have any questions, please contact our treasurer, Alan Schwartz, or our Rabbi.
 

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).
