• In Rabbi Gadi’s absence, members of the congregation have stepped up to lead Shabbat services. On Friday’s, Feb. 25, March 4 and March 11, members of the rabbi’s Hebrew class will lead services. Special note: these Erev Shabbat services will be on Zoom only. On Saturdays, Feb. 26, March 5 and March 12, Gabbai Paul Nadel will lead services with readings from the Torah by shul member Ari Paul. These services will be hybrid — Zoom and in person.

 

  • Rabbi Gadi will return to the pulpit on Friday, March 18, at 6 p.m. to lead a Shushan Purim service prior to the regular Shabbat service at 7:30 p.m.

 

  • All members and guests planning to attend services in the sanctuary and/or activities in the shul building must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19, including a booster shot, by March 22. (We will also continue to offer services on Zoom.) Please email proof of your vaccination and booster to ctigreenport@gmail.com./ In establishing the new booster mandate, the shul has been guided by the recommendations of Dr. Lewis Teperman, our medical consultant.

 

  • Volunteers are needed for a Packing Party to help assemble packages of yellow candles for mailing to each shul family. We will light these candles together in our homes in observance of Holocaust Remembrance Day on April 27. Sisterhood and the Men’s Club are organizing the Packing Party, complete with refreshments for the helpers, to be held on Sunday, March 20, at 11 a.m. To volunteer, request additional candles for other family members or children away at school, or to get more information, email the shul at ctigreenport@gmail.com with a message for Adrianne Greenberg or Tom Byrne.
