For over a century, Congregation Ezrath Israel, also known as the Ellenville Shul, has been at the center of Jewish life in the Catskills. We have been there for the simchas, and at times of loss, for generations of upstate Jewish families. We have been a place for the many visitors who pass through the area during the year, providing a place to daven, to spend Shabbos and to soak in our hospitality.

We have a Bais Medrash, Mikvah, Catering Hall, and a newly refurbished library. Our Sisterhood and Mens' Club sponsor events to help support us.

Times have changed though, and we find it necessary to reach out to you, to keep our shul alive. Money has become tight, but we don't want to cut any of services that we have been providing to our community and beyond.

We look forward to the prospect of becoming the home of a brand new Bais Yaakov High School. The first year will begin, IYH, in Sept. 2010 with a 9th grade. The potential for growth is great and the impact on the Jewish community now, will be signifcant.

We need your help, to maintain the shul, to help support the new Bais Yaakov, to help us continue to be the center of Jewish life in the Catskills and an oasis for all Jews passing through.

This year also marks the 25th anniversary of Rabbi & Rebbetzin Frank in the Ellenville community. We will be honoring them in the spring. A donation in their honor will encourage us to continue in our Avodas HaKodesh.
