We thank Ellen CherrickAlan Schwartz, and Zach Griff, for sponsoring this Friday night's community dinner. If you are interested in sponsoring an upcoming community dinner or event, please contact Rabbi Bellino or the synagogue office.

CholentFest V was a great success! We congratulate the winners: David Waxman (Eydel Ladle Trophy), David Neuhaus (People’s Choice Award), Fern Penn (Best Decoration), and Ke$het Bellino (Best Non-Traditional Cholent). We are thankful for everyone who made the event such a success, including: our 15 participants (Montana Azuelos, Choni Bellino, Gavriel Bellino, Ke$het Bellino, Aliyah Gluckstadt, Elijah Marks, David Neuhaus, Fern Penn, Cori Robinson, Haim Shechtman, Stanley Allan Sherman, Eli Szus, Jeremy Watman, David Waxman, and Susan Zilberman), our three judges (Dana Friedman, Harris Marks, and Chris Marte), our dedicated organizer (Eli Szus), our rabbi (Gavriel Bellino) for his design work and beer curation, the several volunteers (Cori Robinson, Leora Walter & Tali Zilberman) who helped make this event a success, and the more than 150 people who tasted, complimented, criticized, and discussed our cholents.


2017 Tax Letter: You should have received a tax letter from us last week listing all of your 2017 tax-deductible contributions to the synagogue. If you have any questions, or feel that some contributions were not listed, please contact us at 212-473-3665, or email us.


Purim Chaos Volunteers: Purim is in 3 weeks and there's a lot of sponsoring, schlepping, decorating, supervising, beer selecting, and cleaning to be done. Purim Chaos doesn't happen by itself. Please let us know if you can help.

 

Torah Readers: We are looking for men who can prepare to read at Shabbat Mincha (and possibly at Shacharit during the week as well) throughout the year. A schedule of readers is being maintained. If you can commit to any dates, please contact Rabbi Bellino. We are grateful to Elie Yudewitz who will read this week. The next available Mincha leining is on March 17th  (the afternoon reading is Tzav). We are looking for women to prepare aliyot for a Women’s Torah Reading  in the near future. Rabbi Bellino is happy to help anyone learn how to read Torah to prepare a reading.

 

Please continue to assist our weekday morning Minyan. Consider increasing your commitment to community and synagogue by attending.

 

Our plentiful and delicious Kiddushes on Sixth Street greatly enhance our synagogue and community. To sponsor or to co-sponsor a Friday night Kiddush, a Shabbat Kiddush, a Shabbocktail, our Shabbat Shabeer supply, or a Seudah Shelishit, contact Rabbi Bellino. The next available Kiddush for sponsorship is March 17th (Vayiqra).
