In recent weeks, the Central Board has received several complaints regarding the excessive drinking that takes place in both synagogues on Shabbat.The complaints can be summarized as follows:

1)The drinking that was once confined to a few people in a small secluded area has now expanded so that it has become extremely visible involving a large number of people in open view.

2)Drinking starts early on in the morning

3)Some members leave during the Torah reading to start drinking and if they return, some of them are in no fit state to pray

4)Children are observing this behavior and will learn to imitate it.

5)We are increasing the alcohol dependence problems that some of our members unfortunately have.

The  Central  Board is  currently  contemplating  banning  alcohol  from  all of  our synagogues. While this decision is being carefully reviewed, we would like to hear your opinion on any other approaches that could  help our  community  bring  this serious issue under control.

UMJCA Central Board

It is with great pleasure that the Central Board  can announce the completion of  the purchase of 695 Middle Neck Road  consisting of Shaare Rachamim and Mikveh Moshe ,  on  Monday ,  September 30^th.

The Central Board wishes to thank the community for its generous financial contribution which facilitated  ownership of this property  for  UMJCA , without  borrowing  any  funds  from  any  individuals or Institutions .  We further wish to thank all those whose help  with the logistics and closing issues    enabled  us to  complete this transaction in a relatively timely and smooth fashion .

Mikveh  Moshe is operating on its  regular hours .  However  since Shaare Rachamim requires some renovation and repairs , we will not be able to reopen  until this work is completed .  The   Central Board will do everything in its  power to expedite this but ,in the meantime, we would like to remind you  that if you have not paid your pledges, then please do so as soon as possible as these funds are needed for the renovation and the initial running costs.

Mazal tov to the whole community!

The Central Board of the UMJCA

We did it !

Magen David Adom (MDA) provides a rapid and skilled emergency medical response, including disaster, ambulance, and blood services, to more than half a million Israelis each year. When you make a charitable gift to support MDA, you’re helping save lives and perform miraculous rescues every day.

MDA’s work is mandated by the Israeli government, but it’s not government-funded. MDA relies on donors to ensure dispatch centers are equipped with the latest communications technology, ambulances are stocked with cutting-edge lifesaving equipment, and paramedics have the most up-to-date training.

A joint project of the Mashadi Youth Committee & The Israel & Zionism Committee of the UMJCA.
