We are raising an additional $1.5M to build out our roof deck! We invite you to be part of the Downtown Synagogue renovation by naming one of our iconic stained glass windows. For $10,000 (or $2,000 per year for 5 years), your family’s name or dedication will be associated with the colorful window you choose.

We’ll have a ribbon cutting ceremony, followed by open house tours, food, music, and activities for kids. Register here!

As I spoke about in my Yom Kippur sermon, as human beings, and particularly as Jews, we often think of ourselves as either vulnerable or powerful. But we are actually often both. And we can be both even in the same moment.

Shana Tova, Gmar chatimah tovah. I’m Rachel Rudman, I’m the Executive Director of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue. I’m honored to be in community with you all this Yom Kippur.

Good morning and gut yontif. My name is Sarah Allyn and it is my honor to serve on the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue’s Board of Directors. I want to begin by thanking the Bethel Community Transformation Center for generously and warmly welcoming us back to their beautiful space that holds such deep meaning for our community.
