This Shabbat we continue our annual study of Masekhet Avot. This year, Rabbi Bellino is deviating from the printed order and will be presenting various themes in Avot grouping multiple Mishnayot by topic. We plan to study every Shabbat afternoon, one hour before Mincha. This week at 6:50 PM: Avot in a Greco-Roman Context.
News
We wish a Mazal Tov to Hannah Federman & Alex Sperber in celebration of Alex's Ufruf and their upcoming wedding.
We are saddened by the recent passing of our friend, Morris Shoretz. May his family and friends be consoled amongst those who mourn for Zion and Jerusalem.
The new fiscal year began on June 1st, so it is once again time for us to encourage membership, asking you to formalize and renew your annual commitments to our synagogue. Membership dues go a long way in supporting our operating expenses, enhancing our thoughtful and unique programming, and allowing us to make many essential repairs and aesthetic improvements to our 175-year-old building. Your partnership in our rebuilding and revitalization is more important than ever.

Thank you to all those of you who attended and enhanced our Shavuot. We are particularly grateful to Michael Sarid & Alan Schwartz, Phoebe & Richard McBee, Drs. Sara Rostanski & Ava Liberman, Ellen R. Cherrick, Shelly & Elie Yudewitz, Matthew Gros-Werter, Brenda Pace, and David Lessman.
If you made a donation pledge during Yizkor on Shavuot, please click here to fulfill it with us.
Join us this Sunday at 8:30 AM for Shacharit and Bagels!
The Zohar class will meet this Tuesday.
Next Shabbat, June 14th, we will hold our Annual Father's Day Kiddush! For $54 you can be named as a contributor, and the names of your sons, fathers, grandfathers, teachers - or virtually anyone you choose - will be listed. Please specify "in honor of" or "in memory of" in the notes when you make your payment. This list will be read aloud in synagogue. You can submit payment here or by venmo (@sixthstreetsynagogue).
We will be hosting our friend, Riki Rose, for two performances in June. You may purchase tickets for Riki Rose Music Premiere on June 15th here. She will be performing together with her family June 23rd and tickets are available (to women only) here. Doors open for both shows at 8:00 PM.
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.
But it's the right thing to do and it allows us to thrive. Won’t you please share in our great legacy and help us continue our impressive revitalization? There are, of course, various membership options and we hope that one works for you.
