Emergency Rally Outside UN Headquarters

A MESSAGE FROM AGUDATH ISRAEL OF AMERICA

Read More
The scheduled visit to New York of the Iranian President – a man who has described the Holocaust as “a myth” and called for Israel to be “wiped off the map,” a man who pursues destructive nuclear capacity in defiance of the entire world community, a man who sponsors terror and mayhem in the Middle East and beyond – should fill every civilized heart with revulsion.

And it should fill every Jewish heart with something more.

The arrival of this would-be heir to Hitler should remind all Jews how little has truly changed since millions of Jews were last targeted for destruction, r”l. And it should remind us, no less, of the uniquely vulnerable position of Yisroel bein ho’amim, Jewry among the nations, and of the fact that ein lonu al mi lehishoein ela al Avinu She’baShomayim – We can depend on no one but Our Father in Heaven.

Therefore, at this critical time, and during this season of introspection and repentance, we call upon all Jews to return to our sacred heritage, with tefillah and renewed allegiance to Torah, our eternal wellspring of life, the source of our strength to withstand all our enemies.

Along with our supplications, we feel it is our duty as well to express to the world our deep anguish over the presence in our midst of a vicious ruler who threatens genocide against Jews.

A number of Jewish groups are planning to gather outside the United Nations headquarters, at

Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza (2nd Avenue and 47th Street in Manhattan)
on Wednesday 27 Elul / September 20 at 12:00 noon

to present a collective Jewish expression of outrage at the General Assembly’s hosting of the Iranian leader, of support for Israel’s security and soldiers, and of solidarity in the fight against the global scourge of terrorism.

Whatever differences may separate us from some of those groups, we stand united here with all Jews.

Therefore, after consultation with the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah and following the precedent of the previous generation’s Gedolim in similar circumstances, we urge all who are able to do so to participate in the planned gathering. We have been assured that a special section will be made available for men and women to gather in separate areas, and we will lift our voices in tefillah to Hashem, secure in the knowledge that Bechol dor vodor omdim aleinu lechaloseinu veHakodosh Boruch Hu matzileinu miyodom. In every generation, there are those who stand against us to annihilate us, but Hashem saves us from their hand.

Additional details will be forthcoming.

Ask the Red Cross to check on Kidnapped Israeli soldiers!

This is quick and easy and VERY important to do.
Read More
Why could the Red Cross be denying Israeli soldiers that which they routinely do for every country?

Please join over 1200 individuals imploring the Red Cross to act now.

Go to: www.petitiononline.com/habanim3 http://www.petitiononline.com/habanim3

The families have not heard from the 3 abducted soldiers since their capture. The petition is directed to the Int.l Committee of the Red Cross, the organization responsible for implementing the Geneva Convention which states that every prisoner of war has the right to contact their family.

This is a parent's worst nightmare. Let's do what we can to keep the pressure up and help the families of Gilad Schalit, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev.

Seats for Yom Tov and the Year

As we prepare to begin the new year we would like take this opportunity to wish all of our members and friends a Keteva VaChateema Tovah and a happy and healthy new year. We would also like to remind you, that this is the time of year that we collect membership dues and ask you to pay for your seats for the year and for the Yommim Noraim.

Read More
Membership this year is $200, adult seats are $150, and seats for children (living at home) over bar/bat mitzvah age is $25. For those of you who do not daven with us on a "regular" basis we also have a Chaver membership (at $100) so that you too can express you appreciation to the Rov & help us cover our expenses.

As our shul has B”H grown and many of our mispallelim have guests coming for Yom Tov, please let us know if you do not plan on using your seats.

You can make your reservations via the internet by sending me an e-mail at jfaska@dtcc.com and the seating committee will be available the first night of Slichos from 10:00 PM to Midnight in the shul.

Please note: payment arrangements MUST be made by Motzai Shabbos September 16th. After that date, we will make your seats available, as needed, to others.

Please do not wait for Slichos (12:30) to come and make your arrangements, because we too need to prepare for the Yom Hadin and ask for rachamim.

Thank You

17th Nationwide Yom Iyun Comes to Queens

17th Nationwide Yom Iyun Comes to Queens

The Torah community of Queens is honored to be hosting the 17th Annual Nationwide Yom Iyun, sponsored by the Torah Projects Commission of Agudath Israel of America.

Read More
The Yom Iyun will focus this year on the vital topic of: "Bein Adam L'chaveiro – Moving Beyond Good Intentions". Two of the most inspiring and uplifting speakers will address this vital topic, the Mashgiach of Lakewood, Rabbi Matisayhu Salomon and Rabbi Shmuel Dishon, Menahel of Mosdos Yad Yisroel, Karlin Stolin. "Be'ezras Hashem, no one who comes to this important event will leave unchanged." declared Rabbi Avrohom Nisan Perl, Director of the Commission. "The importance of how we deal with another is governed by a multitude of halachos. Getting to know what they are can alter the entire interpersonal dynamic."

The Yom Iyun will be broadcast nationwide in conjunction with the Torah Conferencing Network. Last year, more than fifty cities participated.

The Queens flagship event, for both men and women, sponsored in conjunction with more than forty area shuls and yeshivos, will take place at Agudath Israel of Kew Gardens Hills, in the Yeshiva of Central Queens auditorium, 147-37 70th Road, on Sunday, September 17th, the first day of Selichos. 8:15 pm will be ma'ariv, followed by the kinus at 8:30. The public is invited to submit questions on the topic.

For more information, or to send in your questions, please e-mail torahprojects@agudathisrael.org, or you may fax to (646) 254-1600.

Chickens for Shabbos (Oif L'Shabbos) is a tzedakah under the auspices of Rabbi Fabian Schonfeld, Mara D'Asra of the Young Israel of Kew Gardens Hills and Rabbi Doniel Lander, Rosh Hayeshiva of Yeshivas Ohr Hachaim.

Chickens for Shabbos (Of L'Shabbos) is an organization that helps alleviate the terrible financial woes of so many families in the poverty-stricken communities of Israel whose economic distress is difficult to describe. In America, two of the most active participants in this truly great effort and, indeed, the driving force behind it are Rabbi Fabian Schonfeld Sh'lita, Rabbi of Young Israel of Kew Gardens Hills, and Mr. Robert Neuman t"yhka. In Israel the main activists are two young wonderful men by the name of Shlomo Zalman Ellinson from England and Chaim Puretz from Flatbush, both studying at the Yeshiva in Brisk. Sometime ago they became aware of the terrible plight of hundreds of families living in Yerushalayim who literally find it impossible to put food on the table. Some of these unfortunate families have a large number of children and grandchildren whose average Shabbos meals consist of tuna fish and cottage cheese.

Please note that not a single individual is being compensated nor does anyone drive any personal gain from this great Pikuach Nefesh activity. Every penny that you contribute literally puts food on a family's table. If you wish to help with this tremendous effort you may mail your tax deductible check to:
