Announcements

We are on Summer Schedule, with Friday Mincha and Kabbalat Shabbat held at 7:00 PM (This will continue until September 20th!). Please join us as we enjoy beautiful services, thoughtful Torah study, and our flourishing community.

This Shabbat we observe Tubi Av with several cocktail experiments featuring Tubi 60. For more information about Tubi 60, click  here.

Rabbi Bellino's class in Avot will meet this Shabbat afternoon at 6:20 PM.

All Shabbat Services are held in our main sanctuary.

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 offer Blessings of Consolation to our member, Howard Radzyner, on the passing of his beloved mother, Celia Radzyner (צפורה בת חיה וצבי).
 

We are grateful to all those who helped to make this Tisha B'Av special: Alan Feder, Dr. Yehoshua Livnat, & Rabbi Bellino for their reading of Megillat Eicha; Elie Yudewitz for reading the Torah; Rabbi Bellino for the explanatory Kinnot and Midrash study; and everyone who came and participated in our services and classes throughout the fast.

Gold Leaf Campaign: In honor of our synagogue's 80th anniversary this year, we encourage community members to sponsor Gold Leafs on the Tree of Life outside of the Main Sanctuary doors. As a nod to the synagogue's traditional history, coupled with the recent revitalization, let's take this opportunity to commemorate the many happy events and milestones celebrated in our synagogue, such as Graduations, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Marriages, Birth of Children, or any other momentous event. Each leaf can have up to 4 lines. The cost for each leaf is $118. Please submit payments and text by August 30th so the plaques can be finalized before Rosh Hashanah. Submit text and payment on the donate page (use the charge type 'Gold Leaf Campaign'), and email Annie Watman a copy of your text. Please join us in this campaign to celebrate the revitalization of our shul and the joy celebrated within these walls. Contact Annie Watman with any questions.

Community Security: We are actively working to enhance our sense of safety and security. We are grateful to Sara Liss and the larger security team for taking on this responsibility. To find out more and to become involved, please contact Sara.
