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. 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 Dana Friedman in honor of the relaunch of the variety show FunOrthodox.

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

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. 

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.

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.

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

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.

New Pirkei Avot Class: Rabbi Bellino has started a twice-weekly class on Pirkei Avot, starting at the very beginning and which will discuss Tractate Avot from a more realistic perspective. The class will meet for about an hour on Monday and Thursday nights, starting at 7:00 PM. Of course, all you really need is the text itself, but source sheets (manuscripts, external sources, commentaries, etc.) are available online here. One final point: If you appreciate Rabbi Bellino's "traditionally untraditional" approach to Judaic Studies (or life in general), this class is very much for you. Zoom links will be sent out before the classes.

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.
