We had an amazing year that included a major facelift to our physical plant and an expansion of our programming in classes, dinners and educational events.
One of the reasons that this year has surpassed all others may be because more and more of our members and friends seek a warm, welcoming and inclusive community and have found what we need in the Stanton Street Shul.
For us to continue offering services, classes, dinners, kids programs and a variety of other resources we must reach out to our members and friends and seek your generosity at this time of year. As they grow larger so do our operating and capital budgets. Many of you have been extremely generous in the past, but as the secular year comes to an end, we reach out to you to share in the continuing success of our shul by making a year’s end tax-deductible donation.
With gratitude for your participation and support and blessings of peace upon the entire house of Israel,
Aviad Bodner

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, Paul Ruffer, or another member of the board, and let's think about how we can help make Stanton flourish together.
We are proud to be a member synagogue of The Downtown Va'ad
