Shabbat Shalom

We will be hosting minyanim on Shabbat morning at 7:00, 8:00, 9:00 am but formal youth groups will not be meeting. The little lights room will be available for parents and children.

Please see the new mask guidelines below. We pray for health and good news in the days ahead.

We are thrilled to officially announce a summer journey to Israel with Agudath Sholom. God willing, Israel will open up more fully in the season ahead. Any reservation now is fully refundable. If you have an interest, see the link below in the Events section.

We are blessed with many wonderful opportunities at Agudath Sholom and appreciate everyone coming together to make our shul and community such a special place. God willing we will share more good news in the weeks ahead.

Wishing you and your families a Shabbat Shalom,

Rabbi Daniel Cohen


Indoor Masking Update  In accordance with the policies of the City of Stamford, the following is now in effect at CAS:
  • Everyone, regardless of vaccination status, is required to wear a mask. Masks with filters are not acceptable.
  • During kiddushim, masks must be worn unless you are eating.
  • We will continue to have a separate dessert table for children. Children are not permitted to serve themselves from the food table.
  • For more information from the Stamford Dept of Health, click here.

Parents: Please be mindful not to serve children food or drinks in the Sanctuary during davening and to ensure they do not enter the shul unsupervised following davening. Thank you in advance.

Shabbat Kiddushim Note  We have given our staff the day off so they can be with their families. Members of the board have volunteered to help setup kiddushim. Please do your part by throwing away any garbage. Thank you in advance.

Youth Group Note  There will be no groups this shabbat due to winter vacation. The Little Lights room (room 113 on the first floor of the new addition) will be open for free play.
