We are on Summer Schedule! Friday Night Services begin at 7:00 PM, this week, and will continue at 7:00 PM until September 12th.
This Shabbat leads directly into Tisha B’Av, and will be observed with joy and rest, even as we know that we will soon be starting a day of fasting and mourning. Our Shabbat afternoon programming has been scheduled 45 minutes earlier to make room for a proper Seudah Shelishit / Seuda Hamaphseket.
Kiddushes have been provided by the house. If you would like to sponsor either, please let us know.
Tisha b'Av
Join us this Sunday at 9:00 AM for Shacharit without Bagels!

Rabbi Bellino will teach the First Chapter of Lamentations from 2:30-4:00 PM on Zoom.
At 4:20 PM we will host Holocaust Survivor and Motivational Speaker, Sami Steigman, as well as Rwandan Genocide survivor, Consolee Nishimwe, who will be sharing a some of her story as well. We are grateful to Adina Lichtman who organized this event and will be leading the discussion. It will be broadcast on Zoom.

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.
