LSS/TD BANK AFFINITY PLAN
July 23, 2009
(formerly Commerce Bank) has offered Lincoln Square Synagogue the opportunity to participate in its Affinity Membership Program. Based on the level of participation by our members we will receive a contribution from TD Bank annually. The amount will be based on the average monthly balances in TD Bank deposits accounts including checking, savings, money market accounts, Certificates of Deposits and Retirement accounts. Existing and new accounts are eligible. At no time will LSS have access to any account information or even know who signed up.

All you need to do is tell your banker to code your account to the LSS Affinity Plan. We need the participation of at least 50 members in order to qualify for the contribution.

If you currently have an account at TD Bank, please tell a Banker that you would like to sign up for the LSS Affinity Program. If you don’t currently have an account, we would like to ask you to consider opening an account at TD Bank. TD Bank has offices at 68th Street and Broadway and at 74th Street and Broadway, and in many other locations through out the City.

Shiva Committee in formation
February 27, 2009

LSS is seeking people willing to aid, or coordinate those who are aiding, people in our community who unfortunately are sitting Shiva. The areas of responsibility include (i) assuring the necessary items (chairs, Siddurim, etc.) are brought to the Shiva Home; (ii) arranging for the Seudat Hav’ra’ah; (iii) assuring the presence of Minyanim, when required; (iv) arranging for meals during Shiva, if necessary; and (v) arranging the return of the items brought to the Shiva home.

If you would be interested in helping, please speak to or contact Rabbi Robinson, Amos Alter, or Elissa Burnat. Thank you, and may your services very rarely be needed.

Your Security Matters...
February 13, 2009

Your Security Matters... We have been asked, why is a police car parked outside of shul on Shabbat and during the week? Have we been threatened?

There is no credible, specific threat at this time that we know of. However, as part of New York City Police Department's ongoing counter-terrorism efforts, they have assigned officers and a police car to Lincoln Square Synagogue and any other house of worship or facility they believe should have this visible presence. The officers’ schedule is controlled by NYPD and they come and go accordingly.

Please feel free to approach the police officers to express your appreciation for their being at LSS.

It is in everyone's interest to be alert and report to your security committee members and/or our synagogue guards anything that looks suspicious or behavior that is suspicious. Thank you for cooperating.

Rami Hori and Mark Wald, Co-chairmen
