Let the Project Zug team match you with a learning partner, or sign up with a friend.

hineini: csi engagement campaign
Hineini means, “Here I am” and it indicates readiness of relationship. When God called to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Isaiah — they replied “Hineini, Here I am.” Your membership in the Shearith Israel community means the connection is already there. Hineini is a relationship campaign to deepen the connection between the community and you.
We want to hear from YOU! We are looking forward to fostering connections that are fulfilling — more post-COVID Shabbat dinners, fun group activities, small-group learning and actions. Complete the brief form via the button below to tell us what brings meaning to your life, how you see yourself engaged in the various offerings of the congregation and where, if anywhere, you would like to deepen that engagement.
