Dear friends,

We are proud to join together with our rabbinic colleagues in urging you to vote in the upcoming primaries on June 22, 2021. 

The importance of ensuring strong government leadership in New York City for the next four years cannot be overstated, especially in light of the very difficult period the city has endured since the pandemic struck. We cannot stand on the sidelines. Every vote counts, and our community can make a difference.

As Rabbis we are apolitical, and it’s not our place to endorse a specific candidate. But it is our responsibility to care for our community. And this election could have an enormous impact on our community, our synagogues, and our schools. Voting is a civic responsibility and opportunity, and we urge you to vote in this election. 

This year we are tasked to rank our choices. Selecting more than one candidate will enable you to have your vote weigh in more than if you had voted for a single candidate. Click here to learn about ranked voting.

Starting this weekend, you can vote early, and early voting runs from June 12th – 20th. Click here to find your early voting site. If you will be away on June 22nd, click here to get your vote-by-mail ballot.

Sincerely,

• Aviad Bodner, Congregation Ramat Orah
• Naftali Citron, The Carlebach Shul
• Roy Feldman, Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun
• Jason Herman, Hudson Yards Synagogue
• Daniel Kraus, Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun
• Meyer Laniado, Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun
• Yosie Levine, The Jewish Center
• Haskel Lookstein, Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

• How much control over our lives and our world do we need? If we reduce the size and scope of our world, we can gain control over much of it. Expanding our life and our world, while more exciting and satisfying, usually means accepting that we have to surrender control over parts, often important parts, of our reality-- too much to watch, too far to see, too filled with possibilities to always run according to plan. And where does human vulnerability fit into our search for control? Or, death, over which we ultimately have no control? Do our rituals that address vulnerability and death help us to control them or to face them? At our best, I believe, despite the limits on our ability to control our world, we seek the expanding fullness of life.
