Where every Jew is family! Come join our ever-growing family in Southern Saratoga County.
One of the 15 steps of the Seder is Shulchan Orech—dinner. Remarkable. In the middle of matzah, maror, and Hallel, we sit down to eat. Why is something so ordinary at the heart of something so holy?
Because freedom transforms even the ordinary. As slaves, even our meals were filled with tension. At the Seder, we eat like royalty—relaxed, engaged, and grateful. Our connection to Hashem isn’t only in ritual; it shows in how we live, even in how we eat.
And then comes Parshas Shmini, where the Torah introduces the laws of kosher animals. Right after the spiritual high of the Mishkan’s inauguration, the Torah turns to food—teaching us that holiness isn’t only in sacred spaces, but in what we bring into our bodies every day. “V’hiskadishtem v’hiyisem kedoshim”—we become holy through what and how we eat.
The message is clear: Judaism doesn’t separate the spiritual from the physical—it elevates it. With kosher choices, brachot, and meaningful conversation, even dinner becomes a vehicle for holiness.
From the Seder to Shabbat to everyday life—we don’t just experience holiness. We taste it.
Join us Shabbat 10:30 am for services and Kiddush!
We note with sorrow the passing of Justin Belsky's dear father. May his memory be a blessing and live on in his children and grandchildren. Baruch Dayan Haemet. May Hashem comfort you among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
Shabbat shalom!
