This Shabbat:
Westchester County March for Our Lives
Saturday, March 24
The group from TIC will leave at 12:30 pm sharp from the synagogue front lobby
Join us and register now!
You are invited to join us at TIC this Shabbat, March 24th, for services, Kiddush, and a walk to join the teen-led Westchester March for Our Lives in White Plains. That day marches are planned in Washington, D.C., and in 800+ satellite locations in the U.S. and around the world. Youth and adults will take to the streets to demand that their lives and safety become a priority, and that we end gun violence in our schools and communities. This event is the culmination of a month-long effort to honor the lives of the 17 students and faculty killed in Parkland in mid-February.
The group from TIC will meet in the front lobby and will leave at 12:30 pm sharp from the synagogue and walk along Soundview Ave. to the Post Road school (end of Soundview), the starting point of the March. After hearing some speeches, we will march with everyone participating, with police escort, to the MLK monument on MLK Blvd., and then on to the County Courthouse where a rally will be held. Organizers expect the event to end about 3:00 pm.
Registration info:
Each person is being asked to register in advance for the specific march location, in this case Westchester (White Plains). While walk-ons will be welcome, the organizers are trying to get an idea of the number of people planning to march in each of the 800+ locations. If you click on the link below, you will be asked for your zip code. When you put in 10606, you will first see the White Plains march and a clickable RSVP.
We hope you will register now, and join us at TIC on March 24th at 12:30 pm to support our teens and march for our lives.

The community Town Hall meeting will now be held on Sunday, March 25 at 9:30 am in the Milstein Sanctuary. This will provide all of us with an opportunity to hear from each other in person about the Senior Rabbi candidates, the process and our next steps.

If clicking on the link does not work, please copy and paste this into your browser:
You can either complete the comparative survey now, or if you are planning to attend the Town Hall meeting, the survey will remain open until 7:00 pm on Sunday so that you can complete it after the Town Hall has taken place. It is important to complete the comparative survey even if you have completed the individual surveys. We will send an email reminder with the link once the Town Hall is over.
