Rabbi Yedidya Atlas, a close friend and head of special projects for the IDF Rabbinate has reached out to our community and others to assist with Tishrei needs for needy soldiers and their families especially in wartime. They will be purchasing an additional 50,000 extra pairs of olive green dri-fit Tzitzit for combat soldiers, an additional 30,000 pocket sifrei Magen Yisrael Tehillim-Siddur for Combat Soldiers, 5,000 special Shabbat pens, tens of thousands of kippot, 50 Field Aronot Kodesh, Field Torah Library kits, among other items and much more.

  • Shabbat Greeter Program  We are looking to restart our Shabbat greeter program. We will have two greeters each week - 9:45 AM - 10:30 AM in the lobby and 10:30 AM - 11:15 AM at the Sanctuary entrance. The lobby greeter will focus on greeting people as they enter the building and assisting anyone who needs help. For instance, location of groups, the Sanctuary, the Coat Room, etc. The Sanctuary greeter will focus on controlling the traffic in and out. For instance, the greeter does not allow traffic in and out during Kedushah and the Rabbi's Sermon. Please take a look and sign up for a slot over the coming weeks. For more info, contact Mitchell Bell (wizdrbel@yahoo.com), greeter chair - Greeter Sign Up
