YIS Kiddush Fund

The YIS Kiddush Fund helps cater a community-wide kiddush every Shabbat in which there is no kiddush sponsor. Elevating the kiddush experience comes at an additional cost to the Shul above and beyond what is currently budgeted. We ask that you consider a suggested donation to the YIS Kiddush Fund of $250 or more, or $180 for families who have joined the community within the past three years.


If you enjoy the weekly hot kiddush the shul has been providing, or if you believe in elevating the shabbat and communal experience in Shul, we urge you to donate to the annual Kiddush Fund

New Accommodations for Stroller Parking

We are so pleased so many of our toddlers are joining us in shul and enjoying our vibrant youth programs. To accommodate the additional strollers we have created a covered area in the front parking lot to serve as an additional stroller parking area. We invite you to park your strollers in the covered area in the front parking lot or on the covered area outside the classrooms. However, we ask that you please do not park the strollers in the area outside the side door blocking a well trafficked exit point. 

New Kosher Establishment

Pureganic Cafe has now been Certified Kosher and is under the supervision of Rabbi Shmuel Greenberg of Young Israel of White Plains. They are also RAM Vegan & all Pareve. B'teyavon!

Tribute to the YIS Chayalim

We are looking forward to honoring the YIS Chayalim & Chayalot of the IDF at this year's annual dinner. If your child is serving or has served in the IDF, please text Karen Kosowsky (914-629-4543) & Miriam Loren (914- 844-4836) with a photo of them in uniform, their rank and unit, and a contact number so we can include them in the tribute and reach out to them about the video.
