Chesed Opportunity
A family of dear community members close to our Shul have fallen ill, and the Shul has offered to sponsor a Shabbat dinner for the family on a weekly basis. If you are interested in sponsoring one of the meals, please reach out to info@stantonstshul.com. Thank you in advance for your generosity and kindness!
Dear Stanton Community,
We are shaking from the war breaking out in Israel. Hamas has fired thousands of rockets, over 136 citizens are hostages, and over 1,200 Israelis are dead with thousands more wounded. 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
Below, see some inspiring photos from solidarity missions that Dvir and Shalhevet attended in Israel over the past few weeks.
