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, 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 (weather permitting) has been sponsored by Jonathan Mühlrad in admiration of Shimmy Rapps, Richard McBee, Jack Lebewohl, Jeremy Newberger, Gershom Silvera, and Lübba Wintzer for their Morning Minyan Motivation.

High Holy Days
 

With the start of Elul, we begin our preparation for the High Holy Days. This year, it’s complicated. For the last seven weeks, we've held masked, social-distanced, and shortened services in our sanctuary. This has largely been a success, though it continues to depend upon local rates of infection, and our own community’s abiding by our standards to create and maintain a safe environment for us all. If the local infection rates stay low, we will convene High Holy Day services.

We are blessed with a large sanctuary; however, we are limited in the number of people we can safely accommodate. This can be mitigated in several ways (RSVP required, preference for members, multiple services, shofar outdoors, broadcast Kol Nidrei, etc.); however, we cannot reasonably commit to a High Holy Day plan without a better sense of the demand.

For now, we simply ask you - our members and friends: Do you plan to attend our Rosh HaShana and/or Yom Kippur services? How many will be in your party? Do you feel  you can commit to our Community Practices and Expectations? Please let us know your High Holy Day intentions (both affirmative and negative) here. Sooner, rather than later.

The 2020 Census needs your help! The Manhattan self-response rates for Census 2020 are considerably lower than 2010, most likely due to the pandemic and people leaving the city. Quite simply, each completed census brings money to their neighborhoods, ensures representation in Washington and can be filled out online in less than ten minutes at www.my2020census.gov. You do not need a paper form or code to fill out the census, you can simply go to my2020census.gov and write-in your NYC address.

Greetings,

Please consider the following additional announcements:

1. The Eruv is UP, but because of construction, 9th and 10th Avenues between 20th and 22nd Streets are not in the eruv. This will be so until further notice. 8th avenue is within the eruv. Should you find yourself close to this construction area, you had best detour eastward and be sure to look above you.

2. Shabbat Services begin at 9 AM and we aim to conclude before 11 AM. With several of our regulars away, it would be helpful if you were to come as close to 9 as possible.

3. As always, you may review our social distancing protocols and expectations here.

Shabbat Shalom!

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. 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.

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 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. As of this Monday (June 29th) we will offer a bi-weekly Shacharit minyan in the Main Sanctuary. This Minyan will convene at 6:30 AM on Mondays and Thursdays only. If this proves successful, we will increase to a daily Shacharit minyan. Should this go well, 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.

We like to have fun and be creative on social media. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram for much much more!

We categorically reject racism and bogtry of any kind. We stand in solidarity with our African-American brothers and sisters in peaceful protest of the recent murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, among the countless similar acts of violence, immeasurable tragedies, and senseless daily injustices that the Black community experiences. We denounce the use of the police force to repress lawful protest and simultaneously condemn those who take advantage of this moment to loot, hurt, and destroy. We acknowledge that systemic racism continues to devalue the lives of people of color and we call for change.

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.

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

Membership

With a new fiscal year having begun on June 1st, it is once again time for us to encourage membership, asking you to formalize and renew your annual commitments to our synagogue. Despite our now eleven week hiatus, this has been a year of significant growth, meaningful services, insightful classes, festive parties, engaging children’s programming, and respected and inspiring speakers. We continue to make essential repairs and aesthetic improvements to our 174 year old building. Membership dues go a long way in making all of this possible. 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.
