Construction Has Begun!
Our Urgent Repairs Project is underway! When you come to shul this Shabbat, you may notice some temporary structures at the front of the shul sanctuary, near the bima. Otherwise, our use of the shul -- both the main sanctuary and the beit midrash -- should be unobstructed. The work will continue through the summer.
A complete report from our in-person briefing was sent out last week via email to Shul members.
Thank you to the NY Landmarks Conservancy and to all who contributed to make these repairs possible. Thank you also to the Urgent Repairs Committee members -- Elissa Sampson, Raffi Abelson, Jessica Spector, Jeff Katz and Rivky Friedman -- for their efforts in moving this project forward.
Volunteering at Stanton
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.
Planned Giving at Stanton
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.
The Stanton Street Shul is proud to be a member synagogue of The Downtown Va'ad!
