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 Mazel Tov to Miriam & Micha Weinblatt on the birth, Brit, and naming of their son Leor Eitan.

 

Lager Ba'Omer was a great success! We thank our organizers, Rabbi Bellino, and Dr. Jeremy Block; to all of our volunteers including Farmer Yosef Gillers, Sara Liss, David Neuhaus & Tali  Zilberman, Cori Robinson, & Elie Yudewitz; to our judges, Dr. Jeremy Block, Rav Judah Mischel, Sam Schear, and Tali Scheer; as well as to the many, many beer and shul enthusiasts who attended. We are especially grateful to all those of you who brought great beer. And the winners are:

 

Wheat: Weihenstephaner Braupaakt - Eric Kroll!
Local: Hudson Valley Brewery Syzygy - Sam Schear!
Something free: Estrella Damm Daura - Victor Bellino!
Insane: Founders KBS - Ke$het Bellino!
Sour: Jester King Boxer's Revenge - David Neuhaus!
Pale Ale: Grimm After Image – Dr. Jeremy Block!
Belgian: Kristoffel Blonde - Suri Grussgott!
Heavy: Founders Sumatra Mountain - Paul Kentor!

The overall winner came out to a tie between David Neuhaus and Ke$het Bellino.



Torah Readers: We are looking for men who can prepare to read at Shabbat Mincha (and possibly at Shacharit during the week as well) throughout the year. A schedule of readers is being maintained. If you can commit to any dates, please contact Rabbi Bellino. We are grateful to Amir Koren who will read this week. The next available Mincha leining is on June 9th (the afternoon reading is Korach). We are looking for women to prepare aliyot for a Women’s Torah Reading  in the near future. Rabbi Bellino is happy to help anyone learn how to prepare a reading.

 

Please continue to assist our weekday morning Minyan. Consider increasing your commitment to community and synagogue by attending.

 

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 Shabbat Kiddush for sponsorship is May 19th (B'midbar).

 



Events
 


May 6th - Feral Hasids Photo Exhibit
Feral Hasids is a story in photographs of religious New Yorkers escaping captivity from modern shtetl life. The men and women photographed are fervently pious, yet unashamed and feral. Aaron Moeller used Gonzo journalistic tactics to capture their experiences on camera, traveling to music festivals, forests, and rural landscapes around Upstate New York, sensitively placing himself in each episode to help birth a new sense of ritual, a new American pastime.

May 12th - Mothers' Day Kiddush
It's Sixth Street's Annual Mothers' Day Kiddush! For $54 you can be named as a contributor. The names of your daughters, mothers, grandmothers, teachers, or virtually anyone you choose, will be listed. Click here to register.
