Divrei Tikvah:
From Rabbi Johanna Hershenson
I love the ritual tradition of starting a new cycle immediately upon finishing the last. Such wisdom for living life fully and with satisfaction. Finish one book. Start the next. No pause.
President’s Message:
From Sheila Luber & Ann Rosenfield
The High Holy Days are a time of reflection when we look to the twelve months ahead and think about what we can do differently. Our board has much to do as we attend to temple business for the coming year. Most importantly, during the month of October we intend to finalize our most important goals, a process we began prior to the holidays.
