Announcements

We are on Summer Schedule! That means that Friday night services are held at 7:00 PM. (It will stay this way thru September 6th!).

Friday Night Kiddush has been sponsored by the Bellino Family in observance of the Yahrtzeit of Reb Shayele of Kerestir זי"ע.

Shabbat Kiddush has been co-sponsored by more than 25 individuals and families in celebration of Mother's Day. To participate click here.

This Shabbat afternoon (at 6:30 PM), we will continue our class in Masekhet Avot. Rabbi Bellino will present this foundational text using both traditional and academic approaches. Avotinis will be served.

News

We wish a Mazal Tov to Shoshana Bachrach & Rabbi Leead Staller on the birth, brit, and naming of their son Yirmiyahu Yehuda (Jamie J.) Bachrach Staller. 
 

We are saddened by the passing of Joshua Sederowitz (יהושע בן אברהם צבי), a friend from the Sixteenth Street Synagogue / Young Israel of Fifth Avenue.

Although the next few weeks of Kiddush are being sponsored, Bad Kiddush: A Throwback to the Terrible Kiddushes You Grew Up Hating" could return at any point. As we often say: Kiddush sponsorship is temporary. Jarred gefilte fish lasts forever.

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 2:00 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.

Rabbi Bellino has created a digital form to serve as your authorization for the sale of your Hametz. The form will ask you to specify where the Hametz is located, estimate its value, and agree to authorize me to sell it on your behalf. There are six sections and you will need to scroll a bit. It should not take longer than three minutes to complete.

Although there is a widespread custom to pay the rabbi who facilitated the sale of Hametz, you are urged not to do so. Instead, please feel free (but not obligated) to contribute to the Rabbi's Discretionary Charity Fund. Be sure to specify that this is for Passover Charity.

That Sunday, from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM, we will host our annual Children’s Purim Party. Join us in our social hall for fun, arts and crafts, and song. The event is free and everyone is invited to attend-and please bring your friends! If you are coming, please register here so we know how many to expect.

Sponsorship - The Committee for Purim Chaos is actively plotting various chaotic activities that require some financial support as well as assistance in setting up. For more information and/or to sponsor something, please click to our Purim Chaos page.

Purim Charity - Matanot L'Evyonim (gifts to the poor) is arguably the most important mitzvah of Purim. In the course of our own joy, we make it our duty to share with others, thus amplifying the spirit of unity that we read about in the Megillah, and extending the divine generosity shown to our people. In the spirit of modern Religious Humanism, we extend this kindness to both our Jewish and non-Jewish neighbors. This Purim we will again partner with the Masbia Soup Kitchen Network and Knock Knock Give a Sock, in providing gifts to those in our neighborhood who truly need our assistance. We will also be supporting several Matanot L'Evyonim projects in Israel that support those in need. You may make a donation here or Venmo us @sixthstreetsynagogue (be sure to specify Purim Charity!). Of course you may also bring in a check (made out to Sixth Street Community Synagogue Rabbi's Discretionary) or cash before or on Purim.

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 2:00 PM at the Bronfman Center, and will take approximately one hour.

Please continue to stand with Israel by supporting the helpers. Our dear friends Rabbi Joe Wolfson and Jonathan Muhlrad have been leading the JLIC effort in Israel to support those who have lost so much. Our friends Penina Seidman, Leila Deluty, and Michelle Charnoff have been distributing supplies to reservists called upon to serve. You can venmo @sixthstreetsynagogue or donate on our website. Be sure to specify that your donation is for Israel Aid.

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.

We are grateful to Michal Rottenberg who addressed us last Shabbat. Michal and her husband Hezzie are survivors of the October 7th attack on Kfar Aza. We thank Brenda Pace for arranging these important guests.

We wish a Mazel Tov to Keshet Bellino for cleaning up (figuratively) at Cholentfext X. Keshet won the Eydel Ladel (unanimously) as well as the People’s Choice (aka popular vote) for her “Cholent (Taylor’s Version).” This is the first time a single contestant has won both titles. Honorable mentions include: Dina & Kenny “the Kohain” Canfield for their Cholent Bourekas, North Korean Cholent, Choni Bellino - who received the “He’s Not Here” award, and  and Animal Rights Activist Gav Bellino for his “Cruelty Free Cholent.” We are grateful to Eli Szus for organizing and of course Butterflake Bakery for supplying the delicious cake.

Over the last few weeks, we have been experiencing a dirth in Kiddush sponsorship, and so intervention is required. If we do not get a sponsor for next Shabbat (2/24 - Tetzave) we will provide "Bad Kiddush" a throwback to the terrible Kiddushes that you grew up hating. Expect Stella d'Oro cookies, off-brand soda, and jarred Gefilte Fish. You've been warned.
