Van Cortlandt Jewish Center
News and Notes

Here's this week's edition of the VCJC News and Notes email. We hope you enjoy it and find it useful!

Reminders

  1. Shabbos

    Shabbos information is, as always, available on our website, both in the information sidebar and the events calendar.
    Here are the times you need:  
    Shabbos Candles Friday 8/23/24 @ 7:23 pm
    Shabbos morning services at 8:40 am.  Please join the services if you can do so safely. 
    Shabbos Ends Saturday 8/24/24 @ 8:26 pm

    If you require an aliyah or would like to lead services, read from the torah or haftorah please speak to one of the gabbaim.
     

  2. Space for rent
    The VCJC has made public that it has space available for short term rentals.  If you, or anyone you know, needs either office or event space, please let us know or let them know, or both. You can review the information on our blog post.

  3. The VCJC Shop
    We are in the process of creating an affiliate shop on our website.  It is far from complete and, in fact, will continuously evolve, so may never be really complete.  However, there are already several items for your review.  You can find the links to it on our main menu.  The main shop page outlines some of what will be offered. As an affiliate site, the VCJC will get commissions from vendors to whom you go from our site, without it costing you anything additional.  The approach we have taken is to make this a curated site, not just “buy candles” or “buy a mezzuzah” with a link to anything that resemebles those items.  We already have the Shabbat page up and running, although with lots of “white space” that will be filled in.  We currently have an affiliate relationship with Amazon and just signed up with another vendor.  You will also find what we hope are helpful and informative blog posts about various topics. While the blog posts are integrated with our general blog, we also have a dedicated page where you can see just the shopping related blogs. There is also a contact page dedicated to The VCJC Shop, so if you have suggestions for products, comments about the Shop, or comments about the shopping experience we are trying to provide, please let us know! Please use the Shop to find things you know you need and to get ideas about what you had not thought of!  Please share the Shop with anyone who might be interested.
