Shul Buddies: We are looking for volunteers to act as Shul Buddies, for potential members who are invited to come to an upcoming Shabbat Service. This individual would reach out in advance, answer questions, sit with this person during the service and the luncheon, and answer any follow up questions. If you are interested, please email HERE
Shiva Minyan: Be a comforting presence when a City Shul member has a loss. We will train you in how to lead a shiva minyan, or just volunteer to go and be a "minyanaire" for our community. Contact our Volunteer Shiva Minyan coordinator Daniel Gruner.
Musicians/Singers Wanted! Can you lead a service, either Friday night or Saturday morning? If you are remotely familiar with services we can train you! Want to learn to chant Torah or haftarah? We can teach you! Contact the Rabbi.
Mitzvah Group: Visit City Shul members when they are in hospital. Bake and cook for those who are sitting shiva or have just had a baby or are new in town. Organize rides for those who may need a lift to get to shul. Be the smile when a City Shul'er is lonely, stuck at home, sick in bed, needs a phone call. Host students whose families are out of town or new Jews who would like to be invited to a Shabbat dinner. And lots more ways to do mitzvahs and create a real, caring community. Contact our Volunteer Mitzvah Group coordinator Fran Bleviss.

SepSeptember 27 , 2025Shabbat Shuvah Singing Circle
Shabbat, Sep 27th 4:30p to 6:00p
The Shabbat between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur is an especially spiritual time. Explore how the Rabbis viewed these 10 Days of Repentance through study of the midrash, followed by a session on how high holiday music guides and affects our experience, and conclude with a special guided meditation experience to set a meaningful intention for Yom Kippur. This special Shabbat event ends with Kaddish and brunch. The Shabbat between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (Shabbat Shuvah) is a time for reflection upon experiences of the year that has passed. We will gather to mark the end of Shabbat Shuvah, and to reflect upon the anniversary of October 7 with song and prayer, and an opportunity to share our feelings of mourning, grief and peace in a safe, non-confrontational environment.
