LEADING T HE W AY ... SUMMER 2020 | JULY / AUGUST As we mark the 30th anniversary of the founding of A Letter To our oasis of Jewish life, we echo your profound sense of pride at how The Hampton Synagogue has led the Our Congregation... way, particularly in serving both our congregational family and the global Jewish community through the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have heard from so many of you that our televised services and programs on JBS TV bring you comfort, inspiration, and even have been “a spiritual lifeline” in these trying times. With over 200,000 homes across America and around the world viewing our Shabbat and holiday services, we have truly established the global congregation. At the same time, The Hampton Synagogue continues to serve our congregants here in the Hamptons whom, from the earliest days of the pandemic, found safe haven in the vibrant, beautiful community we built together. We have ensured the continuity of our local kosher supervision and eruv maintenance. And we are especially proud that, in close coordination with local and state officials, The Hampton Synagogue was the first major synagogue in New York State to reopen. Governor Andrew Cuomo's appointment of Rabbi Schneier to his Interfaith Advisory Council for the reopening of houses of worship and religious institutions in New York State is testament to the leadership we have shown throughout this period. Within this brochure, you will find our acclaimed programming for July and August that continues to “make the ordinary extraordinary,” even in these most extraordinary times. With the special assistance of Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone, we present an exciting, new drive-in venue at Francis Gabreski Airport for our summer-long Jewish Film Festival. The Humble Toast, the most talked-about kosher food truck in the Tri-State area, will be at each screening, providing the perfect complement to a wonderful family weekend experience. Our 24th Annual Author Discussion Series will continue in-person at the synagogue, in addition to being televised nationwide on JBS TV. Our full schedule of stimulating classes will continue, both live and online. Your accolades for our achievements are manifested by your generous response to the 2020 Annual Gift Campaign. Particularly, we thank the members of our Pillars Society, whose annual gifts of $18,000-$200,000 express their supreme dedication to The Hampton Synagogue. Your magnanimous support is especially inspiring to us as we continue to lead the way.
