Masks On! We are carefully monitoring the constantly-changing path of Covid-19 and consulting with our medical advisors. This Shabbat we will continue to wear our masks. We expect everyone present, regardless of vaccination status, to wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth while inside. Kiddushes will be held outdoors.
Friday Night Kiddush has been sponsored by Rachel Concha, Ian Berger, Ruth Geye, and Yael Scolnick in celebration of community and mini-hotdogs. (Expect both).
Shabbat Morning Kiddush has been provided by Stanley Sherman in observance of the yahrtzeit of his great-grandfather, Samuel Levi.

Yom Kippur on Sixth Street was a wonderful success. More than 300 people - vaccinated and masked - were welcomed over the course of the day. Services were beautiful and efficient. We are especially grateful to our cantors, Meir Shapiro and Neil Kitainik for their beautiful and perfectly-timed davening. They skillfully and precisely moved text along as they moved us, inspiring us with beautiful and thoughtful moments of prayer and song. We also thank Jonathan Falik for his Torah reading, Choni Bellino and Elie Yudeiwtz for their ushering and gabbaing, (also) Choni Bellino for his help in setting up the sanctuary, and Vincenzo Aiosa and staff for their hard work in preparing and maintaining our building.
Please consider participating in our Kol Nidrei Campaign. Your support is essential - not for our continued success - but to help us in our much needed re-building. We remind you that any amount helps ourefforts and lifts our spirits.
We plan to resume the Daily Morning Minyan immediately following the holidays. Please contact Richard McBee for more information or to be added to the WhatsApp group.
Sukkot is soon, but we need a minute.
