YOM KIPPUR

 

If you have not yet done so, please reserve your seats for Yom Kippur as soon as possible, as we anticipate a record number of people attending this year. We will make every effort to preserve your customary seats. Additional seats for members are $125 and all seats for non-members are $250

  • To reserve an additional seat, please go to the donate page on our website.
  • To reserve a non-member seat, please register on the High Holy Days page.
  • For Membership Renewal, please click here.
  • For New Members, please click here.

Schedule of Services: Please visit our High Holy Days page for a complete schedule of our Yom Kippur services.

 

Yom Kippur Seating: To help you locate your seat(s) in advance, we're providing a link to our seating chart for the Yom Kippur services. To view your Yom Kippur seats, please click here. We have tried to preserve your customary seats and to accommodate your requests. If you do not see your name, the name of a guest, or notice any mistakes, please let us know as soon as possible so that we may take care of it.

We plan to provide childcare on Tuesday, September 18th, from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM and then on Wednesday, September 19th, from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM, and then from 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Please remember that only parents and children are allowed in the Beit Midrash during these hours.


Sixth Street Parents Committee: Our Sixth Street parents committee is planning a number of events for our youngest members and the larger community, and we want you to know about them! The Sixth Street Parents Google group is where events are publicized, meetings are called, and babysitters' contacts are shared. If you'd like to be added to the group, please email jeremy.watman@gmail.com.

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 Rabbi Bellino who will read this week. The next available Mincha leining is on September 22nd (the afternoon reading is Vezot Habracha). 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 prepare a reading.


Recycling: Please make sure that all bottles, cans, and tins, are placed in the blue recycling bin in the social hall. We can be fined by the city for not separating out our garbage for recycling, and your help will save our maintenance staff a lot of work, and the synagogue some money.

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 Shabbat Kiddush for sponsorship is September 22nd (Ha'azinu).
