Still Time To Be A Part Of The High Holiday Matching Gift Campaign

The response from members and friends to this year’s High Holiday Matching Gift Campaign has been robust, and gifts continue to arrive daily. Many contributors were moved by remarks made by Judith Weiner at Yom Kippur services, particularly this year, when Israel is a war with its regional enemies and antisemitism is on the rise throughout the world. With permission, The Shofar is pleased to reprint excerpts from Judith Weiner’s Yom Kippur statement. Readers [...]

“Days of Repentance”

This year, the High Holidays truly felt like a time of reflection and repentance. As we celebrated Simchat Torah, the final event that concludes this month of observance, Israel conducted an historic airstrike against Iranian military targets on its own soil and named it “Days of Repentance” — an action that, in previous years, would have seemed an unimaginable undertaking, one with the potential to ignite a world war, possibly even a nuclear conflict. This [...]

“When We Cooperate, Magic…”

On Saturday, Oct. 12, along about 7 p.m., magic happened at 519 Fourth Street, right here in Greenport. Following a day-long schedule of Yom Kippur services, it took only a magic minute to transform the community room into a haven abuzz with activity, chatter, and the good fellowship of friends and neighbors. Together, we had come through the rituals, the liturgy, and what we had discovered after a hard look at ourselves and our thoughts [...]

Blessing of the animals, Tuesday, Oct. 22 at noon

Pets. They drool, shed and, from time to time, they toss up a hairball or oopsie on the carpeting. They track in mud, snow, leaves and sand. They dig deep holes by our favorite bushes and roll around in the dirt. Some skitter around in their cages at night, keeping us awake, others slither around, sticking out forked tongues at us. Ah, but we love them. And on Tuesday, this week, Rabbi Gadi will [...]

Once again, our shul will participate in a worldwide movement to feed the hungry as part of the annual observance of Yom Kippur, often referred to as the “Fast of Isaiah,” the Biblical prophet who said, “And if you spend yourself in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.” Our campaign is called “Cans [...]
