Vaccination and Registration Update |
|
Shir Chadash will no longer require prior registration for in-person services.
However, we DO require that everyone who comes inside the building be fully vaccinated (if eligible). Proof of vaccination will be required and may be provided in advance. Masks must be worn in the building at all times. The Health Committee will reassess the need for these requirements as health conditions warrant.
Please have proof of vaccination with you when you come to the synagogue, or supply this to us beforehand.
Feel free to contact Sarah Lustig at [email protected] if you have any questions on how to provide the office with proof of vaccination prior to attending services.

TZEDAKAH UPDATE - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BELOW |
|
As Rabbi Silver mentioned on Yom Kippur, our congregant Amy Lesen has been working with the founders and partners of The Lowlander Center to serve communities in lower Terrebonne, Lafourche, Plaquemines, and Jefferson Parishes which have been devastated by Hurricane Ida. People are unhoused, living in tents, cars, or roofless houses having lost all of their belongings.
Thank you to everyone who has already donated. Your gifts are being put to immediate use.
You can still help in the following ways:
1) Gift cards: You may purchase gas cards or gift cards for Walmart, Home Depot, or Lowe's. Please email Amy Lesen at [email protected] or text her cell number 718-213-1788. Amy or one of her volunteers will pick up from you.
2) You may make a direct donation via Amy's Venmo (@amypuma) or PayPal (7182131788).
3) You may write a check made out to Amy Lesen and same as in #1 contact Amy to get her the check. In case it seems odd, the reason these particular donations are going directly to Amy is that this way she can mobilize the funds immediately.
Donations made to the Lowlander Center non-profit are very important as well (You can donate HERE) but take more time to mobilize for Amy to access the funds for immediate aid. Other donations, such as lots of Damp Rid (expensive and dearly needed), air mattresses, and carbon monoxide detectors, are still very valuable and you may contact Amy directly to get those donations to her. Thank you so much!
