Our Shul

Welcome to the Young Israel of West Hempstead. We are an Orthodox synagogue located in the heart of Long Island that has provided minyanim, shiurim and programming in the area for over 50 years. Now, almost seven hundred families strong, we are one of the most vibrant and fastest growing Orthodox synagogues in the country. Our success can be attributed to many factors, not least among them the dedication of our membership. Please look through our website for a taste of what our shul has to offer. Read More

YIWH Dinner Raffle - FAQ

We've received a number of questions regarding the Dinner Raffle, here are some of our responses:

 

Q: The GRAND PRIZE ISRAEL TICKETS are listed as “Round Trip,” does this mean I have to come back?

A: No, stay as long as you like. Just let us know where we should ship your stuff (restrictions apply).


Q: I heard the “Children’s Judaica Package” includes Hebrew Bananagrams. Are "mem sofits," “nun sofits” and the rest of the "sofit family" included?

A: No, but don't be surprised if an absurdly overpriced "sofit expansion pack" is introduced by 5773.

 

Q: How did you measure the 50” for the HDTV?

A: HDTV size is measured on an angle from the top left to the bottom right corner, in America. In Israel, the measurement is taken from the top right to the bottom left.

 

Q: If I win a blonde Georgie sheitl, will I have more fun?

A: The Dinner Committee is clearly unqualified to advise anyone on what is “fun.”

 

Q: I forget, what is the “Brisker” method that is referenced in the seforim package?

A: Hmmm, not sure. Give us some time to conceptualize the question, precisely define the terminology, break down its components and find a mechanism by which one narrow aspect of the answer can be applied elsewhere.

 

Q: When does the “Early Bird” pricing end and how do I purchase tickets?

A: The “Early Bird” is in effect through January 30th so please click on the link to buy tickets NOW!!
