Yahrzeit Kiddush to Honor Victims of the
Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire
This shabbat, we remember those who perished in the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. We know that many of those who died lived in close proximity to our Shul. Their struggle to earn a living as poor immigrants reminds us of the necessity of defending immigrant rights, and the rights of poor people today. May their memory be a blessing for all of us.
From Rabbi Leead
Drasha
Come to shul this shabbat to hear Rabbi Leead deliver a drasha honoring the yahrzeit of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.
As we pray for the safety of our Jewish family in Ukraine and all communities in affected areas, we encourage you to do what you can to make a difference.
Please consider making a donation to UJA Federation. They and their partners have been on the ground in Ukraine since the beginning fulfilling emergency needs such as emergency relief for those who are homebound or have disabilities, humanitarian supplies, refugee aid, and the facilitation of Aliyah for those trying to leave the country.
Anything you can give will help support these efforts; thank you in advance for stepping up to support the critical needs in Ukraine as the crisis continues to unfold. Kindly donate here.
Misheberach:We pray that all who are sick may have a full recovery. To add a name to our communal misheberach prayer list, email us.
While scaling back because of Omicron has been hard on all of us, we've found beautiful moments as a Shul in those opportunities we do have to gather together. Since reducing in-person activities two months ago, we've been able to host a handful of weekday Yhartzeit Minyanim for congregants, facilitating their Kaddish, learning about their lost loved ones, and sharing in snacks and Mitzvot in their memory.
If you have a Yhartzeit coming up, please reach out to Rabbi Leeadto organize a Yhartzeit Minyan! These moments of gathering are so meaningful and special, but they need a little bit of forewarning to plan so don't be shy.
And, as always, feel free to update your Shul account info with Yhartzeit dates either on your own, at www.stantonstshul.com, or email me or Jill with the info and we an input it for you.
The Stanton Street Shul COVID PROTOCOLS
(as of January 19, 2022)
While things in New York are starting to head in the right direction, as of right now, Omicron is still a threat and we remain cautious. Our vaccine and mask policy remain in place, and we will continue to suspend Kiddush, but we are hopeful that we will be able to, safely, resume in-person events in the near future.
Security Protocols for Entering Shul:
At all times as a security precaution, please use the code to enter the door on the right side of the building. If you do not know the code, knock and someone will let you in.
