Sinaitic Revelation: When and What Shavuot themed shiur by Rabbinic Intern Jason Goldstein 5/19 at 7:00 pm
Shavuot is "the time of the giving of the Torah." What exactly did God give us on this day and what is the import for continuing interpretation? In search of an answer to this fundamental question we will explore sources ranging from Second Temple Period writings to classic rabbinic literature to modern Jewish philosophers.

Staying Connected While Apart
Even when we're apart, we are still a community. We encourage people to check in with one another by phone and email, so that social distancing does not become a time of isolation. Pick one or two "Stanton buddies" and check in weekly with your buddies!
When you are logged in to your account on the Stanton Street Shul website, you have access to view the membership directory, including contact information for members and friends of the shul. You also have the ability to edit your own listing and, if you prefer, to hide your information so that it does not appear in the public directory. If you have any difficulty, please emailJessica Spector, membership committee chair.
Here's another way to stay connected: Head over to our new Stanton Street Shul Group on Facebookto chat with other congregants, share LES news, quarantine parenting tips, recipes, a class you may have heard about, how you are doing, and what help you might need.
RESOURCE HUB
No one should go hungry at this time. Please share these resources with those in need:
NYC Meal Hubs are located at 400 locations throughout the city and distribute 3 prepared meals (including kosher meals) per person, Monday through Friday--packaged to go. No ID or registration required. Just show up!
Seniors can receive meal delivery by connecting with their local senior center or calling DFTA’s Aging Connect at 212-AGING-NYC (212-244-6469) or call 311.
Most supermarkets (including Trader Joe's, Stop & Shop and Whole Foods) provide Senior early hours for the more vulnerable to shop safely during Covid-19.
