Join us for a meaningful and uplifting Seder with the Stanton Street Shul community, in conjunction with NJOP's Passover Across America, where we will experience the exodus together and regard ourselves "as if we had come out of Egypt." All are welcome and all will feel welcome.

The seder will be on Tuesday night, April 11, at 8:20 pm, at the Stanton Street Shul. The cost is $45/person for Stanton members, $50/person for non-members. Sponsorships are available for $180 and come with two seats at the seder table. Registration will close on Friday, March 31st, unless we fill up sooner, which is likely. Click here to register online now!

Financial assistance is available. For more information, please contact office@stantonstshul.com.

Do you really want to cook on the weekend before Pesach? We didn't think so! Join us for a dairy/pescatarian Shabbat dinner with all the chametz foods you can imagine, on April 7, at the cutest little synagogue in the LES.

We will be having a special guest for this dinner, Rabbi Sion Setton. Rabbi Setton is the Principal of Yeshivah Prep High School. He is a co-founder and member of the Downtown Va'ad and serves as an affiliate Chaplain at New York University. Rabbi Setton will share words of Torah during the dinner on the topic: "How to celebrate Pesach - Sepharadi Style."

Prayer services will begin at 7:20 pm, and dinner will start at approximately 8:00 pm. Due to the high demand and lack of space, registration will close on April 4 at 7:00 pm, unless we sell out earlier. Please click here to register for the dinner ($30 members; $35 non-members; $100 very appreciated sponsors, includes dinner for two).

One of the many strengths of our shul is the variety and multiple talents and abilities of our congregants. It takes a lot to run our shul and our programming, and we can probably use your help. Are you a tech guru, web design aficionado, or social media wiz? A master event planner, fundraiser, or program coordinator? An accountant, lawyer, or investment professional? A trained carpenter, electrician, or contractor? If you have any of these or other skills, professional or amateur, that you'd like to contribute to Stanton, speak to Rabbi Bodner, Rivky Friedman, or another member of the board and let's think about how we can help make Stanton flourish together.

Looking for a way to give back to Stanton, not right now, but maybe at some point in the future? Consider planning a long-term gift to the shul. We encourage anyone interested in discussing various ways to plan a gift now that will be given in the future to contact Board members Michael Gordon or Rivky Friedman, or Rabbi Bodner. There are many ways to go about planned giving and we are happy to discuss the various options that might work for you.
