An email list for sharing events and opportunities across the greater Jewish community of upper 16th Street.

SheishEsreiElyon ("Upper 16th") is a moderated events list.

An event or announcement is appropriate for posting to 16Elyon if it:
* will take place in walking distance of Upper 16th Street
* is of interest to the greater Jewish community in this neighborhood
* is open to non-members of the hosting organization
* is *not* a regular congregational prayer service

Please submit events to 16Elyon in the following format:

*In the interest of creating a nexus for pluralistic Jewish information exchange, please include relevant information in your posting about an event that would help others in the neighborhood -- who have a diversity of practices -- decide whether or not to attend:

1. Describe style of any prayer service
(e.g., full liturgy, egalitarian, mechitza, guitar, women only)

2. Describe relevant dietary info
(e.g., vegan, hekhsher-only, organic/local, Fair Trade)

3. Describe details relevant to Shabbat practice
(e.g., instruments will be used, inside eruv)

Here's to a 16th St elevated by fruitful Jewish intersections!
