Dear Friends,

Yom Kippur begins tomorrow night. Here's the short version of my appeal: Shul business is surprisingly expensive, so I need your help to continue to sustain and improve our unique synagogue. Click here to participate in the Kol Nidrei Appeal.

If you need more convincing, here is the longer version: The Sixth Street Community Synagogue is very much a locus of thoughtful, appropriate, never-judgmental, and often fun Modern Orthodox Judaism. We require your support to continue and to flourish.

We provide consistent and beautiful services, host events that attract a diverse audience, offer classes that are both rigorous and accessible, and serve delicious kiddushes, all while preserving and improving our 178 year old building. To function at this level is expensive and the income from collected membership is insufficient to cover our expenses. The upgrading of our security (both staff and hardware) post 10/7 has further complicated - and at times impeded - our ability to function at the level we would like. 

As you know, this project of Teshuva - the return to our higher selves and to God - requires that we re-evaluate, re-prioritize, and then re-affirm our commitment to those things (and people) that truly matter. I hope that our synagogue is on this list of things that matter and that you are able to partner with me in its great revitalization and success.

I am grateful to you for your support,

Gmar Tov,

Gavriel Bellino, Rabbi
