Announcements

Being separated from our building - and from one another - has been painful, but we are confident that in doing so, we successfully protected our community and demonstrated that we value life above all. 

This Shabbat we will again hold a 9:00 AM Minyan only. As New York City is now in Phase 4 of re-opening, we have re-opened for Shabbat mornings (9:00 AM) with masks required and social-distance preserved. Attendance is monitored and limited, and congregants are seated throughout the entire main sanctuary in individually marked seats. The social hall is closed. Services are shortened and Kiddush offered to-go. Hand sanitizer is available. Please review our social distancing protocols and expectations here.

A Kiddush-To-Go has been sponsored by Jordana & Meir Shapiro in celebration of their 8th wedding anniversary and in honor of the Mara d'Asra, Rebbi Shlita.

Please consider joining our Pre-Shabbat Lechaim at 6:00 PM on Friday. Click here.

As New York City is now in Phase 2 of re-opening, we have decided to re-open as well. Unlike our decision to close, our return will be slow and measured. To be able to return safely, masks will be required and social-distance will be preserved. Attendance will be monitored and limited to 120 people who will be spread throughout the entire main sanctuary in individually marked seats. The social hall will be closed. Services will be shortened and Kiddush will be offered to-go. Hand sanitizer will be made available.

We will start very slowly. We have started a Monday/Thursday Shacharit minyan in the Main Sanctuary. This Minyan will convene at 6:30 AM on Mondays and Thursdays only. We would like to begin Shabbat services on Friday evening, July 10th, for Parashat Pinchas.

Services and classes at Sixth Street Community Synagogue are still suspended. The building is closed. Thank you for partnering with us as we continue to diligently follow the advice of our medical professionals and the laws of our officials, and as we demonstrate to God that we value life above all.

Despite our social distancing efforts, it is our intention to replicate as much of the Sixth Street experience as possible.  It is very important to me that we look after each other and continue to maintain and even build our community, remotely. This means calling each other, reaching out on social media, and making sure that our friends and neighbors are adequately supported. Please email us if you need any contact information or if you can think of anyone that might require attention.

The unfolding health crisis has caused many much concern and a sense of confusion, experiences undoubtedly exacerbated by our being separated from each other and our synagogue. We pray for swift resolution and healing.

All services and classes at Sixth Street Community Synagogue are suspended. The building is closed.

Thank you for partnering with us as we diligently follow the advice of our medical professionals and the laws of our officials, as we demonstrate to God that we value life above all.

Despite this social distancing, it is our intention to replicate as much of the Sixth Street experience as possible.  It is very important to me that we look after each other and continue to maintain and even build our community, remotely. This means calling each other, reaching out on social media, and making sure that our friends and neighbors are adequately supported. Please email us if you need any contact information or if you can think of anyone that might require attention.

Please consider joining our Pre-Shabbat Lechaim at 6:00 PM on Friday.

News

Ownership of the Hametz that Rabbi Bellino sold has reverted back to its original owners.

After Passover we are forbidden to eat any Hametz that we know was owned by an observant Jew during Passover as a penalty for not destroying/selling it. This is a Rabbinic decree and therefore if one is unsure of the status of Hametz after Passover, it is permitted without extensive research. Therefore, all stores, groceries, supermarkets, convenience stores, and the like are automatically permitted immediately after the holiday.

2019 Tax Letter: You may have received a tax letter from us listing all of your 2019 tax-deductible contributions to the synagogue. If you have any questions about the statement, or feel that some contributions were not listed, please contact us at 212-473-3665, or email us.
