Note from Rabbi Baum:
I strongly encourage you to attend our Meet the Members night, next Motzei Shabbat at 8:00pm. This well- planned and fun event is an important part of our efforts to make our shul an even warmer and more welcoming Beit Knesset. With our significant growth in numbers, we all appreciate the challenge and need to maintain a sense of Kehilla. Your participation will help facilitate this goal. I hope I can count on your presence for at least part of the evening. To make reservations, please contact Daphna at daphnar@optonline.net or Judy at jchavel@gmail.com.
