Hot-Line to Combat Anti-Israel Activities on College Campuses
Israel Law Center - hotline to fight antisemitism on campusesA Jewish civil rights group named Shurat HaDin – Israel Law Center has launched the “Campus Hotline,” a manned telephone switchboard to assist university students who are subjected to anti-Israel and anti-Semitic attacks at their schools. Students and faculty are encouraged to call the Campus Hotline at (718) 907-9258 to report any incidents of anti-Semitism, discrimination, intimidation, or harassment arising from anti-Israel activities on campuses.


Shurat HaDin is also soliciting information via the Hotline on boycott, divestment and sanctions campaigns to delegitimize Israel on campus, as well as efforts to provide support for terrorist organizations.

Shurat HaDin is also in the process of creating a “Report Card” to rate campuses based on their commitment to the U.S. Department of Education’s civil rights guidance and to providing a safe and welcoming environment for Jewish students and faculty and for pro-Israel viewpoints. The organization expects administrators at poorly-ranked campuses to become more actively aware of both their legal obligations and their social responsibilities in responding to hostility and discrimination against Jewish students.

Shurat HaDin – Israel Law Center is an international human rights law organization dedicated to enforcing basic human rights through the legal system and to representing victims of terrorism in courtrooms around the world. The organization is based in Tel Aviv and has a newly established American office located in New York.
 
Hey, People of the Book!
books_4.jpgWhenever you buy books, you can help the Shul at the same time.  If you use the links below, Amazon will donate about 6% of your purchase to the shul.  Since they usually have the best prices, you save too! 

For example: Here's a link to buy the Artscroll Siddur: Nusach Sefard (the same Siddur we use in the Shul).  And here's the The Chumash: The Stone Edition (the same one we use in the Shul).  Or any Books at all!

In fact, Amazon donates to the Shul when you buy anything (if you go to Amazon via our links), including: 
So please use these links to help the Shul whenever you shop.   Thanks. 
 
Chesed Notes
Would you like to be included on a list of people willing to prepare and/or deliver meals to other Adams Street families in need of chesed at the time of a birth, death, or illness (or to help out in other ways)? 

If you would like to be contacted in these circumstances, please send your name, phone number and e-mail address along with any specific instructions (i.e. "I am happy to deliver meals, but I don't have any time during the week to cook.") to the following three members of the Chesed Committee:

We would like to keep names on file so that we will be able to contact you to ask if you are available to help when a situation arises.

 
Save Your Butcherie Receipts

When you send your stamped receipts to the shul, we turn them in and The Butcherie donates 5% of your receipt total (3% for credit card purchases) to the Shul. What an easy way to support a great cause!

High Holiday Baby-Sitting and Children's Programming

Youth programs and babysitting will be offered on both days of Rosh Hashanah from 9:30
am to1:00 pm, and on Kol Nidre night from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm, and on Yom Kippur day
from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm. 

In order to ensure that the number of babysitters is sufficient to safely care for the children, you must sign up in advance.  The registration sheet is included below, and the final deadline to sign up is Friday, September 3rd. Please fill out the form and return it to the synagogue office with your payment.

Tsila Sloane is welcoming adult volunteers (whether you have children
participating in the program or not). Here's how you can help:

1. Volunteer to lead an activity. Although the programs will be staffed by a full
complement of qualified babysitters, only we can provide the kids with content
related to Torah and the chagim. You can read a story, sing some songs, run a
scavenger hunt or trivia game... whatever you like!  If you need ideas, just ask!

2. Volunteer to supervise. If you don't want to lead an activity, but still want to
help out and experience the chagim with our children, please sign up to help
supervise the proceedings. We'll be asking for volunteers in 1/2-hour time
slots.

3. Help us find "CITs." If your kids are too old to be 'babysat', but too young to
sit in shul for the whole davening, they can be CITs, playing games with the
littlest kids, helping to prepare snacks, and implementing programs. 

4. Plan or lead a short High Holiday kid's davening. We are looking for ways to
enhance the davening experience for our 2nd through 4th graders. If you know
some fun tunes for the High Holiday liturgy, or have ideas about tefillot for kids
this age, please contact me! This would be an ideal task for college students
home for the chagim.

5. Help us find babysitters. Do you know non-Jewish babysitters who will be
available on the chagim?  If so, please give them the email address and ask them to write to me.  If you have any questions, suggestions for programming,
or want to share your input in any way, please contact Tsila Sloane at
