Friday Night Kiddush has been sponsored by Tamar & Brian Yagoda in observance of the sheloshim of Brian's uncle, Irwin Yagoda (ישור בן חיים ברוך).
This week's Kiddush has been sponsored by:
- Brenda Pace in observance of the upcoming Yahrtzeit of her mother, Ruth Spitzer Kaye (רבקה בת משה ואלטא ביילא), the upcoming anniversary of the Bar Mitzvah of her brother, Robert Neil Kaye, and what would have been his 80th birthday.
- Phyllis & Paul Ruffer in honor of Itzhak Harpaz and Jessica Lawson Stein, the President and Development Director of the Max Stern Jezreel Valley College (JVC) and the extraordinary work they do building bridges between their Arab Israeli and Jewish Israeli students and their respective communities. JVC offers the State of Israel a model of how to build such bridges between the variety of diverse communities that comprise Israeli society and the imperative to so to preserve the extraordinary human experiment that is the State of Israel and allow it to thrive. Immediately following services we will learn about this initiative.
Kiddush Club has been sponsored by the Bellino Family in celebration of the return of Choni Bellino.
Join us at 5:45 PM on Shabbat afternoon when Rabbi Bellino teaches his pre-Mincha Class. This week, Rabbi Bellino will discuss the origin and cultural background of Karpas.
Join us this - and every - Sunday morning at 8:30 AM for Shacharit and Bagels.
News
We wish a Mazal Tov to Natalie & Garrett Zwiller upon the birth and naming of their daughter, Frankie Pearl (פנינה).
Friday Night Services begin at 7:00 PM, this week, and for the next several months.
Rabbi Bellino will teach only his Zohar Class on Tuesday Night and his Foundations Class this Wednesday night.
Passover is coming! Rabbi Bellino has created a digital form which will work as your authorization of the sale of your Hametz. The form will ask you to specify where the Hametz is located, estimate its value, and agree to authorize him 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. You may pledge an amount below and/or pay on the website or simply Venmo the synagogue @sixthstreetsynagogue.
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 2:30 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.
