We hope you and your families are well and enjoyed an uplifting Chanukah. God willing, the lights of Chanukah will be a source of inspiration, hope and joy in the months ahead!

As we enter the winter months, it is even more important to support each other who may be isolated and alone. Join our Making Mitzvah Moments Whats App group and be up to update on ways to light up our community. To learn more, watch You are a Star: Be a Light.

Especially in the virtual world, it is even more important to stay connected. To get real time updates visit our CAS FB Page at https://www.facebook.com/cas.stamford and our Young Families page https://www.facebook.com/casyoungfamilies.

This Shabbat, join us for one of the two Shabbat morning minyanim at 7 AM and 9 AM in the chapel. There are no outdoor minyanim this Shabbat.

Please note, next Friday is the fast of the Tenth of Tevet. It is the only time we observe a fast day on a Friday. The fast begins 5:48 AM and ends at 5:06 PM after Kiddush.

Thank you for your partnership and wishing you and your family a Shabbat Shalom,

Rabbi Daniel Cohen

Dear Friend,

In the season of Chanukah celebrating the miracle of the Jewish people and our dedication to our faith, there are few better investments in our future than The Minnie Manger Marcia Lieberman Mikvah which is available to the Jewish community of Stamford and the surrounding areas.

For many years, our Mikvah has been providing a spiritual oasis for mind, body, and soul through immersions for brides, conversions, and family purity observance.

The Mikvah is run largely by a team of volunteers, in addition to a dedicated attendant. The fees for immersion alone do not cover all of our operational and ongoing maintenance costs. Donations from community members like you help us provide a sacred place for these important mitzvot to take place.

With that in mind, we ask you to partner with us and donate generously to the Mikvah to ensure that we can continue the upkeep of this important source of renewal and rejuvenation.

Please consider a contribution of $100, $180 or $360 or joining the Mikvah Mayim League. A donation is also a wonderful way to honor the memory of a loved one, or to celebrate a significant milestone. Click here to donate.

We thank you in advance for your partnership, support, and generosity towards this transformative institution.
