The Countdown has Begun!
FUSW's new space at 210 N Central Avenue in Hartsdale will be move-in ready in a few weeks! This is only our third "place of our own" in our 170-year history, and we are eager to begin making it our spiritual home, that its sheltering walls may be strong to keep hate out and hold love in.
If you are able, please consider making a donation to the congregation in honor of this new chapter. There's more information on the website, FUSW.org, or contact Susan Greenberg (fuswtreasurer@gmail.com) for details.
