Dear Friend of the Y,
You know the Y – we are northern Manhattan’s premier community center where:
The Y is proud to partner with the Manhattan Smoke-Free Coalition to bring much needed regulation to the tobacco industry, and education to our neighbors. Tobacco has been a serious problem in our community for too long, and we have seen how these dangers have penetrated into the local youth.
In the spirit of the holiday season, The Y was honored to host UJA-Federation and Catholic Charities' Feeding our Neighbors: An Interfaith Response. Close to a hundred volunteers from all over New York swarmed the Y to fill food packages to be distributed to food pantries and local Washington Heights Seniors.
Thank you to all who came out to our Thanksgivukah event this week! We had a large crowd come celebrate with us and Inwood Jews the holidays of Chanukah and Thanksgiving.
Our Partners in Caring "Survivor Interview Series" was a huge success. Thank you to all those who came to the special 75th Anniversary of Kristallnacht -the Night of Broken Glass services at the Hebrew Tabernacle to honor our community members who have experienced the terrible darkness of the Holocaust.
