Join us THURSDAY NIGHT, November 6, at 7:00 PM as we partner with the Stanton Street Shul for a celebration of As the Story Goes: Funny, Strange, and Serious Stories of Yiddishland’s Jews compiled by Mordekhai Lipson, newly translated and edited by Jonathan Boyarin and Jonah Sampson Boyarin. The evening will feature the father-and-son translators in conversation about the art of preserving Yiddish humor, memory, and voice for a new generation. Together, they’ll explore how these vivid tales capture the spirit of a vanished world and the lives that continue to echo from it. A wine and cheese reception will follow. This event is free, but we ask that you register in advance.

Please join us NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT (11/7) for a Shabbat Dinner with our friends from the Ask a Jew Podcast. The "Ask a Jew" podcast is a comedy and culture podcast hosted by Yael Bar-Tur, a secular Israeli, and Chaya Leah Sufrin, an Orthodox Jewish woman. They discuss a wide range of topics, from serious issues like world politics to more lighthearted subjects like dating and pop culture, often contrasting their different perspectives. That week Mincha/Kabbalat Shabbat will be at 4:30 PM, followed by Friday Night Kiddush at 5:30 PM, and Shabbt Dinner at 6:30 PM. We limiting Sixth Street attendance to 30 to preserve room for our new Podcast friends. Sign up here.

Congratulations to everyone who completed the Book of Joshua under our Tanakh Yomi program. We began the Book of Judges on 10/30. Even if you skipped Joshua (basically Israel’s “moving-in montage”—a mix of holy and bloody wars, land deals, and divine real estate drama as they finally get the keys to Canaan) please consider learning Judges with us. To enhance your study and/or keep things straight, the following resources can be found on our Tanakh Yomi page. Book of Judges: Brief Outline - Structural Overview - Detailed Outline - Tribal Leaders - Key Figures - Key Places. Our schedule has us starting 1 Samuel on 11/9. 
 

At Kol Nidrei, Rabbi Bellino asked for your continued assistance in running shul and in protecting it as a space to run to. Please join him in these efforts by participating in the Kol Nidrei campaign. You may do so here. 

As we begin a new cycle of Torah reading and study, we ask that you consider joining us in Tanakh Yomi, our (near) daily study of Bible that facilitates its completion in one year. You can find the 5786 Schedule here. The following resources are available for the Book of Joshua: Brief Outline - Detailed Outline - Key Figures - Key Places - Map of Cananite Tribes - Map of the Conquest - Map of the Division of the Land More resources can be found on our Tanakh Yomi Page. The Book of Judges begins next week and there are already resources online!

Israel in our Hearts

Please continue to you support each other. While this sort of peril and loss, as well as the emotional responses they engender, aren’t new to our national history, they are - in fact - new to most of us. Remember that we all come to the (kiddush) table with different psychological skill sets and traumas. Look out for one another, check in, and be flexible to, and understanding of, the broad spectrum that is the emotional health of others. We ask that when you speak to each other, you be mindful of potentially inflammatory language and gruesome content; particularly in the presence of children.

Find comfort in community as we process the daily horrors and pray for safety, peace, and consolation.

Membership has almost no privileges.

But it's the right thing to do and it allows us to thrive. Won’t you please share in our great legacy and help us continue our impressive revitalization? There are, of course, various membership options and we hope that one works for you.

The Shabbat Kiddushes have been sponsored by Avi Beluca, Phoebe & Richard Mcbee, and Roberta Lee & Sydney Steinhardt in honor of our president, Elie Yudewitz, for his years of tireless work and dedication to our shul.

The new fiscal year began on June 1st, so it is once again time for us to encourage membership, asking you to formalize and renew your annual commitments to our synagogue. Membership dues go a long way in supporting our operating expenses, enhancing our thoughtful and unique programming, and allowing us to make many essential repairs and aesthetic improvements to our 175-year-old building. Your partnership in our rebuilding and revitalization is more important than ever.

Israel in our Hearts

This Shabbat Day there will be a peaceful walk around Washington Square Park and Union Square Park to raise awareness of the hostages in Israel. Shabbat is a time to pause, connect, and reflect; yet, as long as our family in Israel are suffering, we cannot rest. The walk has been organized by Dr. Michelle Sarna, will begin at 2:30 PM at the Bronfman Center, and will take approximately one hour.

Please continue to you support each other. While this sort of peril and loss, as well as the emotional responses they engender, aren’t new to our national history, they are - in fact - new to most of us. Remember that we all come to the (kiddush) table with different psychological skill sets and traumas. Look out for one another, check in, and be flexible to, and understanding of, the broad spectrum that is the emotional health of others. We ask that when you speak to each other, you be mindful of potentially inflammatory language and gruesome content; particularly in the presence of children.

Find comfort in community as we process the daily horrors and pray for safety, peace, and consolation.

Membership has almost no privileges.

But it's the right thing to do and it allows us to thrive. Won’t you please share in our great legacy and help us continue our impressive revitalization? There are, of course, various membership options and we hope that one works for you.
