We Are Resilient TOGETHER

At this time, two congregations are participating actively in ministry and mutual support.

On Saturday, February 25th, members of St. Lydia’s and St. John-St. Matthew-Emanuel stood in solidarity and witness outside Congregation Beit Simchat Torah in Manhattan, in response to a planned national “Day of Hate” targeting Jewish synagogues and institutions.
