Friday Night Kiddush has been provided by the house.

 

Shabbat Kiddush has been co-sponsored by:

 

  • Phyllis & Paul Ruffer in honor of their granddaughter - Chaya Mindy - and grandson - Chezki - who are visiting from Jerusalem.
  • Hannah Grass & Jon Stobezki in honor of bread and the memory of his father, Joe Stobezki ז"ל.

This Shabbat afternoon (at 6:25 PM), we will begin our class in Masekhet Avot. Rabbi Bellino present this foundational text using both traditional and academic approaches.

We wish a Mazal Tov to Shoshana Bachrach & Rabbi Leead Staller on the birth of their son.

 

Next Shabbat we will hold our Annual Mother's Day Kiddush. Join us as we honor all the most important women in our lives. To participate, please click here.

 

Although the next few weeks of Kiddush are bring 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.
