The Journal Dinner-Dance is the shul’s major fundraiser for the year, accounting for a whopping third of the shul’s operating capital. The event is a win-win: you win a night on the town (actually the Village of Greenport), and the shul wins your much-needed support.

It all starts on Sunday, Sept. 8, at 5 p.m., at The Halyard restaurant, with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, followed by dinner, music and dancing, a lavish silent auction of goods and services, and official recognition of this year’s honorees, cited for their contributions to the North Fork communities and to the synagogue.

From the community, the Journal Dinner-Dance committee is honoring the Greenport Fire Department on the 175th anniversary of its founding and its continuing commitment to the health and safety of villagers and their properties. Cited from the synagogue are shul members Alice Nadel, OD, and Paul Nadel for their support of the spiritual, educational and social activities and events that contribute to the success of the synagogue’s program.

The Journal Dinner-Dance has been a shul tradition for more than 25 years. With your help, this year’s event could be the biggest and best of them all.
