Planning for Shavuot SURVEY
Please help us plan our next big in-shul gathering.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE RITUAL COMMITTEE
The Ritual Committee has begun a community self-study to explore ways to enrich the davening experience at The Stanton Street Shul. Paul Ruffer, the committee chair, will call each member household to discuss what would enhance members' davening experience and the committee will use that input to enrich davening at Stanton Street.
Through this survey inquiry we hope to identify folks who can lead Havdalah and other services and expand our pool of Baalei Tefillah. In June, the Ritual Committee will inaugurate a Davening Clinic with classes from Rabbi Staller on being a Shaliach Tzibur, what it means to lead communal prayer, and the details of that important communal responsibility. Following the Rabbi's classes, the Davening Clinic will host classes to strengthen the Baalei Tefillah skills of those who have offered to function in that important role.
After getting our Baalei Tefillah classes underway, we hope to create a Davening Buddy System where we will match folks with strong Hebrew reading & Davening skills with other folks who want to strengthen their Hebrew Reading and Davening skills. Through such programming we hope to expand participation and engagement in communal prayer at Stanton Street.
If you get a phone call from a (240) 460-2717 number, know it's Paul Ruffer reaching out to you, so please pick up so that we can have your voice and input in this important community self study.
With everyone's participation we can create that vibrant Davening Clinic and Community that will further enrich our davening at The Stanton Street Shul and help us continue to grow and go from strength to strength.

Building Community Together
UPDATE YOUR SHUL CLOUD ACCOUNT
For many, remembering Yahrzeits, Birthdays, and Anniversaries are the most personal and meaningful dates on our calendar. They connect us to our deepest emotions.
The Stanton Street Shul would like to help you remember these important dates. As we live busy lives, many of us would appreciate being reminded in advance of upcoming Yahrzeits. In the future, and upon request, we would like to hold more morning and evening services for members to say kaddish.
We can automatically generate personalized greetings and reminders once you enter your dates onto your Shul account page. If you prefer, you may bring a list of your Yahrzeits, birthday and anniversary dates to Shul and we will gladly update your account for you. If you don't know the dates of your yahrzeits, please send name of loved one and time/date of death to Jill.
This is one more way of building a stronger, caring and loving community.
