Please take time to peruse the bulletin closely. We have included information about where to find vaccine pro- vider locations, as well as a wonderful chesed project initiated by Ramaz sixth grader Harry Honig, who has of- fered to help FAS members navigate the technology involved in scheduling a vaccine appointment. There is also information about the incredible schedule of speakers who have and will be participating in our Sunday evening zooms: international figures, including Harry Macklowe; Alan Dershowitz; Mem Bernstein; Dr. Larry Norton; and Dore Gold, among others. We look forward to hearing their insights on the latest events in Israel, medical innovation, Philanthropy, and political and cultural affairs as they impact our community and the Jewish people.

  • Sucker Sermon" September 28, 1967 Elul 23, 5727 Fifth Avenue Synagogue Vol
    Rabbi's Message "Sucker Sermon" September 28, 1967 Elul 23, 5727 Fifth Avenue Synagogue Vol. X, No. 1 The high holy day season induces mixed feelings in most rabbis. On the one hand they rejoice that so many of their co-religionists attend services and fill pews that are usually vacant. At the same time, however, they are de-pressed that the beautiful prayers of the traditional liturgy do not move congregants as they were wont to in days of yore. Alas, that too often it is like the rendering of magnificent symphonic music to audiences that are tone deaf! Indeed, when one considers how few are the Jews in the modern age to whom the prayers ax*e truly meaningful, one has reason to exclaim that Jews are very loyal, long-suffering people. They crowd into their synagogues, give handsomely of their resources in order to do so, and then patiently suffer through hours of ritual which neither quickens their hearts nor stimulates their intellects. Apparently they do all of this because they want to be counted among their people and thus identify themselves with the fate and destiny of their brethren. This, in and of itself, is commendable and is to be encouraged. Yet rabbis want to do more to make this manifestation of the sense of Jewish solidarity a rewarding experience. May I offer a few suggestions? If we Jews were not so sophisticated, perhaps our prayers could be made simple — as simple as nursery rhymes. However, we are sophisticated and we ought not act as retardates in religion when we are cultured persons in our appreciation of poetry generally.

We want them to know at their core that they are part of the Jewish family, and that Israel is their home. We work to inspire, unify, and activate a critical mass of young Jews as passionate supporters of Israel, and to play a part in the Jewish people’s unique mission and destiny.

Although we cannot accept any responsibility for the accuracy of the data furnished us, we are most thankful for errors brought to our attention. Please note the following: It is always best to Call before going to a Minyan the first time to confirm the information herein. Minyanim that meet late afternoon often change schedules as the days lengthen. Fast days pose a special problem. Not every Minyan possesses a Sefer Torah, and those that do will often daven earlier Minyanim at Yeshivos and Day Schools often meet only on school days. Similarly, many business Minyanim do not meet on legal holidays. The fact that a shul is listed in this directory does not mean that its mechitzah satisfies all standards. For changes, corrections, or to list additional Minyanim, please contact: Agudath Israel of America Commission on Community Services 42 Broadway, New York, NY 10004 Phone: 212 797-9000 ext. 274 Fax: 646 254-1630 E-Mail: [email protected] We appreciate the efforts of Dr. Bernard Fryshman, who originated this project.

    Jewish Communal Fund GIVING 2020 REPORT ABOUT JEWISH COMMUNAL FUND Jewish Communal Fund (JCF) is the largest and most active network of Jewish funders in the nation. JCF facilitates philanthropy for more than 8,000 people associated with 4,100 funds, totaling $2 billion in charitable assets. In FY 2020, our generous Fundholders granted out $536 million—27% of our assets—to charities in all sectors. The impact of JCF’s network of funders on the Jewish community and beyond is profound. In addition to an annual unrestricted grant to UJA-Federation of New York, JCF’s Special Gifts Fund (our endowment) has granted more than $20 million since 1999 to support programs in the Jewish community at home and abroad, including kosher food pantries and soup kitchens, day camp scholarships for children from low-income homes, and programs for Holocaust survivors with dementia. These charities are selected with the assistance of UJA-Federation of NY. For a simpler, easier, smarter way to give, look no further than the Jewish Communal Fund.
