Kol Nidre Appeal: Hinenu -- We are Here!

In AC President Juliet Weissman's Kol Nidre address, she asked that each of us say hinenu - we are here - in two important ways:

Please invest in our Ansche Chesed community and make a meaningful contribution to our annual Kol Nidre appeal. If you have not participated in the past, we hope this year will be your first. If you have, thank you for your support, and please give thought to increasing your donation this year to mark Jeremy’s quarter century milestone with our community. 

Please choose one or more ways to show up in the coming year, so that we remain strong in our commitment to shared prayer, shared service, and shared responsibility. There are many ways to show up below, and if you don’t see what you want, you can also create something of your own. 

Kabbalat Shabbat Service Time Changes on Oct. 23

Starting on Friday, October 23, our weekly Kabbalat Shabbat service will begin at 5:30pm instead of 6:30pm.

Please join AC and Minyan M’at member, Mark R. Cohen, Professor Emeritus from Princeton, for a fascinating journey to Medieval Egypt. Jews were deeply embedded in commerce, but Halakha had not yet developed forms well-suited to the realities of the contemporary marketplace. Exploring Maimonides’ writings, Islamic law, and texts from the famed Cairo Geniza, we will see how Rambam developed legal tools that enabled Jewish courts to lead their communities. Learn more and register

Course fee $100 (finances should never be an obstacle at AC. If you need to pay a reduced fee, speak to the office.)

Volunteers Needed

Please consider signing up for a volunteer shift at the reopened shelter. Volunteer shifts are easy, with step-by-step procedures and an on-call volunteer to answer questions that come up. Learn more and sign up
