Our building is open, but to the vaccinated only. All persons currently eligible in New York City for COVID-19 vaccination are required to provide proof of vaccination in order to enter the Sixth Street Community Synagogue building, or attend any events at the synagogue. As eligibility changes (extended to groups such as children, booster shots become available/recommended), all persons eligible will have two months from the time they become eligible to demonstrate proof of vaccination. If you have not already submitted a copy of your vaccination card, we ask that you bring vaccine verification to synagogue.
Masks OPTIONAL. With the significantly declining positivity rates, masks are now optional. We do ask that you bring your masks, anyway.
- If you are immunocompromised, you are strongly urged to not attend services.
- Keep in mind that there are those who might prefer to maintain a more rigorous social-distancing. If asked, please adhere to the request of your neighbor. There is plenty of room in the balcony should you prefer.
- If you have tested positive and have recently been in synagogue, be sure to contact Rabbi Bellino who - along with advisors - is monitoring community positivity. (Your health status will be kept confidential).
Friday Night Kiddush has been sponsored by Danielle Schaefer in observance of the Yahrtzeit of her grandfather, Herman David Goetz - חיים דוד בן אברהם הלוי.

Shabbat Morning Kiddush has been provided The House.
News
We are now on Summer Schedule! That means that Friday Night Services will be held starting at 7:00 PM until September 16th! Additionally, Rabbi Bellino will begin teaching a Shabbat Afternoon Class following Passover.
Passover is in 2 weeks.
- This Wednesday Night, Rabbi Bellino will teach a Passover Seder Preparation Class at 7:00 PM. You can join via Zoom here. Additional classes will thbe announced soon.
- Shabbat HaGadol is April 9th. Rabbi Bellino will teach that Shabbat afternoon on the topic of K'zayit, the ever-expanding "olive's worth" of Matzah, Maror, and more!
- The most efficient way to facilitate the Sale of Hametz is by Digital Form which will serve as a Power of Attorney authorizing me to sell on your behalf. The form asks you to specify where the Hametz is located, estimate its value, and agree to authorize me to sell it for you. There are six sections and you will need to scroll a bit. It should not take longer than three minutes to complete. I (or my designated representative) will sell your Hametz on Thursday evening, April 14th. When I have received your authorization, will send you a confirmation.
- Although there is a widespread custom to pay the rabbi who facilitates the sale of Hametz, I urge you 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. You may pledge an amount on the Hametz Sale form and/or pay on the website or simply Venmo the synagogue @sixthstreetsynagogue.
Better late than never. We now have a YouTube channel! You can find all sorts of Synagogue videos here. Be sure to subscribe.
