Shabbat Mevarchim Parshat Behar-Bechukotai Week of May 23rd, 2025 Iyar - Sivan 5785 Wishing you and your family Shabbat Shalom and a Happy Rosh Chodesh!
Dear Stanton Community, We are heartbroken by the devastating news of the brutal murder of two Israeli Embassy staff members, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, outside an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. This horrific act of antisemitic violence is a chilling reminder of the ongoing threats faced by Jewish communities around the world. At Stanton St. Shul, we believe deeply in the power of community to bring light in times of darkness. This Shabbat, we will pause in our prayers to honor the memories of those lost and extend our heartfelt condolences to their families.
