The 2021 Virtual Journal will launch this month. Is your ad included? Please keep in mind that the Virtual Journal is a major fundraising undertaking for our shul, representing more than a third of our operating budget. The Virtual Journal invites members, friends and local vendors to celebrate our synagogue’s now 120th year, recognize one among us who has contributed to the betterment of the shul, and produce an all-in-one directory of the businesses and services that enliven commerce here on the North Fork.

The Virtual Journal is a full color publication that is live online 24 hours a day for an entire year, providing enormous reach and visibility for our shul and for each individual message.

Act now to be represented in the Virtual Journal. Our members are key to the success of this fundraiser that supports our shul and the programs that keep us connected, especially during the Covid crisis.

If you have not already done so, please complete the ad insertion form emailed with this issue of The Shofar. Send your check as indicated on the form, or pay by credit card:  www.tiferethisraelgreenport.org, and click on the “Journal” tab.

Maybe this bit of doggerel will inspire you…

There once was a Greenport shul

That members thought was a jewel.

But it needed some money

To keep its books sunny

A journal would be just the tool.

So they sent out a message to all

“Get your ads in before the last call.”

Don’t be late or you’ll miss it

For then you will wish it

Was not all but over this fall.

So chop-chop good members and friends

Write your copy, your checks, and please send

To the shul we all love

On time, please. Mazel tov.

And bring our requests to an end.
