Have you given?
Your donation to our 2023 HH Gift Campaign suddenly takes on an urgency amid global implications we could not have imagined in past years. Strengthening the infrastructure of Jewish institutions and the hallmarks of Jewish life secures 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 our Leadership Donors have already given almost 20%
more than last year, making it possible for us to match your gift 2:1.

Please reach deeper. Consider the possibilities…and donate now.

Thank you.

Shabbat Services this Friday night, October 6, will begin at 5:30 pm.

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 Thursday, this week, Rabbi Gadi will bless them. Not in Andrew Levin Park, as in days gone by — enough of that chaos. Now we invite you to bring your pets on Zoom, where we can admire them, ooh and aah over them, and not need to keep them from running amok.

So Zoom at noon this Thursday, October 5, and bring your pals, the ones who bark and meow, the scary ones who slither, and the pesky ones who party at night. We love them. Bless them.

It’s a fun time. Join us, even if your pet-owning days are done.

Reflection. Repentance. Renewal.
As we move through the 2023 High Holiday season, please note that a prevailing continuum is also Tzedakah. The transformative practice that is Tzedakah nurtures our spiritual growth. It strengthens our connection to our spiritual family and to our community. It just feels good.

That is evident by the fact that this year, in 2023, we have more Leadership Donors than ever. Donors came forward to sustain and strengthen our Shul because it feels good to be part of a vibrant future. The power of our history and heritage determines who we are today.

Did you search for a seat on Yom Kipper?
Did you kvell when you first caught a glimpse of the Shul filled with friends and family, anchored by Rabbi Gadi and Cantor Billet and our Zoom family.

What makes us strong? Who sustains our future? It is YOU.

We need YOU to join our 2023 High Holiday Matching Gift Campaign
( DONATE NOW ) making this a banner year, surpassing even last years’ record-breaking donations. The Leadership Donors who are contributing $10,000 or $5,000 or $2,500 or $1,250 are making it possible to match your gift 2:1.

Think of it. You will double your gift by giving NOW . We are marvelous recorders of our history and the history we are creating now is for future generations.
