Shalom and welcome!
Greetings from Sullivan County, New York, home of Congregation Bikur Cholim B’Nai Israel. We hope that you and your family are healthy, well, and enjoying the summer.
This year, the Little Blue Shul celebrates its 100th anniversary! What an incredible milestone. As we honor a century of tradition, we are grateful to continue building on the warmth, spirit, and community that have always defined Bikur Cholim.
Rabbi Elchanan Weinbach and his wife, Yocheved, have helped carry forward our Congregation’s traditions with a thoughtful and modern approach, and we are delighted to welcome them back. The Weinbachs look forward to spending the holidays with the entire Congregation in our traditional style: both in shul and under the tent at our family’s nearby home.
Over the past two years, Rabbi Weinbach has helped us introduce several meaningful and welcome additions to our services, including:
The Congregation will conduct services for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur 2026 / 5787.
Rosh Hashanah Services
Rosh Hashanah dates are September 11th, 12th, and 13th.
Yom Kippur Services
We thank you for your continued involvement and ongoing support over the years. We hope that you and your family are looking forward to this year’s holidays as much as we are.
Our family wishes yours L’Shana Tova V’Metuka — a happy and sweet New Year.
Let’s keep the tradition alive.
Sincerely,
On behalf of Congregation Bikur Cholim B’Nai Israel,
The Millman Family
The Lindenbaum Family
