Given these challenging times and the devastating events in Israel over the past few weeks, it is more important than ever to gather and worship as a unified Jewish community. We hope that you will take the opportunity to take a pause from the stress of day-to-day life and join us for services this Shabbat.

Virtual Town Hall Meeting Stanton Street Shul will be holding a virtual town hall meeting on Thursday, November 16 at 7pm. Join us for an update on the spiritual leadership of the shul and come ready with questions, suggestions and feedback for us! We look forward to seeing you there and catching up with you.
We are shaking from the war breaking out in Israel. Hamas has fired thousands of rockets, over 199 citizens are hostages, and over 1,300 Israelis are dead with thousands more wounded. The hostages include women, children, and even a Holocaust survivor. There are also thousands dead in Gaza -- innocent civilians caught in the line of fire.
This is unprecedented and the most deadly attack on Israel in a generation. We must take action. In addition to our prayers, we ask you to consider making a generous donation to one of the listed causes.
The One who makes peace on high, may He bring peace down below to us, Dvir and Shalhevet Cahana
And, Thank You to those of you who joined last Tuesday's rally at the UN. We were grateful for the opportunity to show up as a community for Israel and our Jewish brothers and sisters.
