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 Mazal Tov to the Lebewohl Family upon the birth of a girl, born to Ariella & Jeremy Lebewohl.

 

We are grateful to Ahron Moeller for sharing with us his photographic work, entitled Feral Hasids, this past Sunday evening. The show was the first in a series of art exhibits we will be hosting that feature the work of emerging artists and friends of the shul.

We are very much looking forward to Shavuot, which begins next Saturday night, May 19th. Our observance of the holiday will include Shavuot Dinner & Torah Study with Rabbi Bellino, beautiful services, a lot of ice cream and cheese cake, and a Women's Wine, Cheese, and Torah. The dairy dinner on Saturday night is free, but registration is a must! Please click here to register.

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 Choni Bellino 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 26th (Naso).
