We wish a Mazal Tov to Joan & Eli Nachmani upon the birth of a boy to their children Becky and Jonathan Nachmani. We wish a special Mazal Tov to the big sister Ava!
We wish a Refua Shelaima to our friend, Murray Nussbaum, husband of Risa Gerstein. Please keep Murray - Moshe ben Rachel - in your prayers.
Rabbi Bellino's class in Avot d'Rabbi Natan continues. This text is a commentary and elaboration on Pirkei Avot that was compiled during the Geonic Period. This late Midrash provides explanations of most of the aphorisms of Avot, as well as hagiographic on the lives of many of the sages quoted. Class meets on Shabbat, one hour before Mincha. All source sheets (including Rabbi Bellino's notes) may be downloaded here.
Israel Awareness Committee: The Israel Awareness Committee's inaugural Book Club meeting will be Monday, August 17 at 7:00 PM. The first book is Amos Oz's A Tale of Love and Darkness. Join the committee to discuss the book and share pizza and beer. To get involved, please email jeff.katz48@gmail.com.
Book of Remembrance: To enhance the Yizkor Service, our synagogue will assemble our own Book of Remembrance. This is an opportunity for us all to remember those people (relatives, friends, teachers, etc.) who greatly impacted our lives. We urge all our members and friends to take part. The final date of submission for all entries must be no later than August 26, 2015. Find more information on the website and email info@sixthstreetsynagogue.org all entries and questions.

Sixth Street Community Synagogue
We like to think we're different. Everyone from the traditionally Orthodox to the occasionally observant feels at home here - 365 days a year. We hope you do too.
Our historic and beautiful building, our thoughtful programming, and our welcoming atmosphere are possible only with the annual support of our community.
Thank you for sharing in our great legacy and for helping us to continue our impressive revitalization.
The Downtown Eruv
Our Eruv has dramatically improved our Shabbat experience and observance. It has helped our synagogues and institutions to build larger and more dedicated communities.
