High Holy Days

Tonight

This Weekend

Eli Sharabi

Last Shabbat morning, an overflow standing room-only crowd heard from Eli Sharabi, who described his 491 harrowing days as a captive of Hamas, and announced the English-language edition of his book, Chatuf, the first book-length account by a hostage taken on October 7. Chatuf is the fastest-selling book in the history of the State of Israel; the English-language edition will be released by Harper Collins on October 7, 2025.

On Saturday night, Hampton Synagogue Trustee Michael & Alyssa Shabsels hosted a reception for 30 young couples from our congregation in honor of Eli Sharabi.

Congressman Brian Mast

Last Sunday morning, we welcomed Congressman Brian Mast (R-FL), Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, to the Stewart Cahn Global Breakfast Forum, in conversation with Rabbi Marc Schneier. Their wide-ranging discussion included the America-Israeli bilateral relationship, and how America First impacts foreign policy.

Welcome Einat Gottlieb

Hampton Synagogue Benefactor Vicki Schneps hosted a beautiful luncheon at her home for 40 distinguished women of our congregation welcoming Einat Gottlieb to our community.

Camp Mona Family Day

Last Friday, over 150 children and parents gathered to celebrate Camp Mona Family Day. The program, facilitated by Children's Center Director Mindy Kremer, included an engaging musical Shabbat led by Rabbi Sean Jensen, and an amazing "Bubblemania" show presented by world renowned bubble artist Casey Carle. The program concluded with a delicious picnic-style lunch.

Dune Deck Shuttle

See you at Shul! Dune Deck is again very generously providing Saturday shuttle service that makes regular loops around Westhampton Beach [see schedule and stops below - watch for the white Hampton Hopper minibus], connecting Dune Road with the village. This hop-on/hop-off community service will again be available, free of charge, to anyone who wants it. This year, the service is expanded with stops on the "mainland," including the corner of Bayfield Lane and Oneck Road. This service may enable those who find it difficult to walk long distances in the summer heat to attend The Hampton Synagogue, as one of the stops in town is at CVS, just across the street from the synagogue.

For more information, contact Dr. Barry Helprin (barryhelprin1@gmail.com)

Located at Jack’s House, the Manes Art Center of The Hampton Synagogue in Westhampton Beach engages members of the greater Hamptons community in high-quality works of art and cultural experiences for the educational and enhancement of all.

The Manes Art center is the gift of our distinguished benefactor, Dr. Harvey Manes, a passionate collector of art for over 40 years. Dr. Manes sits on the Board of the Nassau County Museum of Art and has lent numerous works from his collection to notable museums, including the Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago), Heckscher Museum, NCMA, Jewish Museum-NYC, and others.

The quality and breadth of the Manes Art Center collection features an eclectic collection of modern, contemporary, and old master artists, as well as sculptures. Artists in the collection include Andy Warhol, Basquiat, Koons, Salvador Dali, Roy Lichtenstein, Marc Chagall, Yaacov Agam, Jim Dine, among others.

On permanent view in the Barnet Family Chapel is the work of world-renowned artist, Dale Chihuly, who designed and created the Chapel’s Fiore windows that allow natural light to interact with the space in dynamic harmony, Eternal Light, and the only Menorah of Chihuly’s illustrious career.
