Guest Rabbi Ari Blech Joins Us for the High Holidays
Rabbi Ari Blech is a graduate of Yeshiva University where he studied English and Philosophy as befits someone planning to work in the Rabbinate and not get a “real job.” At YU Rabbi Blech studied under Rabbi Michael Rosensweig. He also picked up enough writing awards to help his parents shep a lot of nachas, which as an only son is really the very least he could do.
Rabbi Blech received his semicha from Chabad and has spent the last four years helping successfully build Bradley Beach, NJ into a year-round community. An 11th generation Rabbi, and the most eclectic example to date, Ari and his wife Alaethia (plus their adorable dog Eden, and cats, Kugel and Agape) love hosting guests, playing Rose and Thorn, learning, teaching, laughing, and–as of two weeks ago, Sunday–Stand Up Paddleboarding.
Happy Birthday Jeff Katz and Gilad Nakash!

Recap of Recent Events
Last Thursday's visioning workshop was incredibly inspiring. Twenty enthusiastic participants who care deeply about the future of Stanton came together to reminisce and to share creative solutions. Together we remembered successful endeavors of the past and thought about how best to move forward. Please continue to share your ideas here.
And last Sunday's opening reception for The Seventh Year: Shmitawas equally heartwarming. Nearly 40 people gathered to take stock of the diverse artwork on our walls and to marvel at out beautiful shul. Please visit our balcony to see the full exhibit if you have not already.
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.
Thank you in advance for stepping up to support the critical needs in Ukraine as the crisis continues to unfold. Kindly donate here.
