The long-running Women's Tefillah Group meets throughout the year at Stanton for davening and Torah readings on Shabbatot, Purim and Simchat Torah, and has hosted many bat mitzvah and kallah celebrations as well as speakers and scholars. This spring, founding member Rachel Mincer will offer classes in leyning Haftarah. Join us at the Gala to show appreciation for Malka and the WTG!
Update from the Security Committee
Responding to the insecure environment we live in, the rise in anti-Semitic incidents, and the concerns of our congregants, the Board recently undertook the installation of a security system including security cameras and monitors. The front door of the shul is locked while services are in progress. If you do not know the code, please knock loudly to be let in.
We are still recruiting committee members and a committee chair to oversee monitoring the cameras, developing an evacuation plan, and planning a fire drill. You will have the full support of the Board. Please speak with Jeff Katz or any Board member or email board@stantonstshul.com to get involved with this important committee!
Kiddushes are a joyous way to celebrate Shabbat and bring together our members and friends-- with good food and drink. Celebrate a birthday, anniversary or other event, commemorate a yahrzeit, or show appreciation for the extraordinary work being done in this Shul. We would love to share your special occasions.
We rely on your generosity to keep us going with weekly prayer services, kiddushes, children's programming, classes, women's tefillah, arts and cultural programs, and other events. Click here to donate!
