Friday Night Kiddush has been sponsored by the Bellino Family in observance of the upcoming yahrtzeit of Norma's mother, Gertrude Smith (גולדא בת ר' שלמה עובדיה) and in honor of Aerin Frankel, Jewish goaltender of the United States Women’s National Ice Hockey Team, whose stellar performance helped bring home the gold medal in women's hockey.
Shabbat Morning Kiddush has been provided by The House.
Please join us on Sunday morning for Shacharit and Bagels at 8:30 AM.
News
We wish a Mazal Tov to Eliyana & Rabbi Zechariah Rosenthal upon the birth of twins - a boy and a girl! The Rosenthals are the OU-JLIC rabbinic couple serving at NYU Hillel’s Bronfman Center for Jewish Life.
Micro Minyan will meet NEXT Shabbat! We are grateful to Tali Zilberman for leading and organizing this facet of our children's programming. Micro Minyan begins at 10:30 AM and generally meets on alternating Shabbatot. There will be a Kommunity Kinder Kiddush Klub immediately following.
Our Tanakh Yomi program is currently studying the Book of Ezekiel. (See the schedule). Ezekiel is the wild prophetic fever-dream where a reluctant exiled priest becomes God’s special-effects department, starring in performance-art sermons, cosmic architecture tours, and the most dramatic comeback story ever given to dry bones.

Prophetic Metaphors
The Midrash Rabbah Class will meet this Tuesday night.
The Wednesday Night Foundations Classes will meet this week and will focus on Purim. We will be using the following resources (from our Tanakh Yomi page) in our discussion of Megillat Esther: Brief Outline - Detailed Outline - Key Figures - Key Places - Non-Masoretic Additions - Dating / Historical Context
On Monday, March 2nd, we will gather for Maariv at 6:30 PM and then immediately read the Megillah. Following the Megillah there will be a celebration in our Social Hall.
On Tuesday morning, March 3rd, we will convene an 8:00 AM Shacharit which will be followed by the Megillah at 8:30 AM.
Purim Charity - Matanot L'Evyonim (gifts to the poor) is arguably the most important mitzvah of Purim. In the course of our own joy, we make it our duty to share with others, thus amplifying the spirit of unity that we read about in the Megillah, and extending the divine generosity shown to our people. In the spirit of modern Religious Humanism, we extend this kindness to both our Jewish and non-Jewish neighbors. This Purim we will again partner with the Masbia Soup Kitchen Network and Knock Knock Give a Sock, in providing gifts to those in our neighborhood who truly need our assistance. We will also be supporting several Matanot L'Evyonim projects in Israel that support those in need. You may make a donation here or Venmo us @sixthstreetsynagogue (be sure to specify Purim Charity!). Of course you may also bring in a check (made out to Sixth Street Community Synagogue Rabbi's Discretionary) or cash before or on Purim.
Sponsorship - How could we call ourselves Chabad of Sixth Street without some aggressive fundraising? Chabad of Sixth Street is actively plotting various chaotic activities that require some financial support as well as assistance in setting up. For more information and/or to sponsor something, please click to our Purim Chaos page.
