Once again, our shul has responded with enthusiasm to a call for charity, this time a campaign called “Cans For CAST.” We asked all those joining us for Yom Kippur services to bring a can or other nonperishable item, and to deposit the food in the big red barrel stationed at the ramp entry door. And people did, filling the barrel and making it a back-breaker for CAST volunteers to drag it away. The “Cans [...]
Many people choose to join our shul after the High Holidays. As an incentive to join now, the shul is making the following offer: Any individual or family joining between now and the end of the year will pay the new rate — $1,000 for families; $650 for individuals — for the remainder of this year, and will be paid-up members through 2024. In other words, pay dues for 12 months and get up to [...]
It didn’t take long for Edible East End Magazine to jump on the story as soon as the editors heard that our own Deborah Pittorino was going to provide 300-400 latkes for the shul’s Hanukkah party on Dec. 10. Before you could say “eggs and potatoes, please,” the magazine had set up a photo session at our shul, where the rabbi, the president, the writer and the photographer all pitched in to help Deborah turn [...]

Also on the menu: jelly-filled doughnuts (sufganiot), hot cider, coffee, tea and cold drinks, plus applesauce and sour cream for the latkes. What else? Thanks [...]
A Message From The Fundraising Chairperson “Have you given?” Your donation to our 2023 High Holiday Gift Campaign suddenly takes on an urgency amid global implications that we could not have imagined in past years. Strengthening the infrastructure of Jewish institutions and the hallmarks of Jewish life, means securing our own Jewish community on the east end of Long Island. We need you to make that happen. If you have not yet given, remember that [...]
The prayer books hardly had been collected and stored away for next year’s High Holiday services when Adrianne Greenberg called together the volunteer builders. On a spring-like afternoon, the crew hauled the components up the stairs from the basement and spread them out on the lawn in Andrew Levin Park. It was time for the annual building of the Sukkah. Mark Solomon drew the plan, the boys figured out which pieces went where, and [...]
