Rabbi Drorah Setel’s June 18 Message
Clergy sometimes jokingly refer to life cycle rituals as “hatch, match, and dispatch.” While birth, marriage, and death remain central to our celebrations, Jewish tradition has evolved to recognize many other significant moments throughout our lives.
Covid
During our services, holiday celebrations, and events, masks and social distance seating are available upon request.
TigerChat
TigerChat is a phone app that allows you to converse with or listen to another person or group using automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology that converts spoken words into typed text. The app was designed to work on the RIT campus, and RIT has extended it so that it now also works in the JCC.
