A message from Cantor Roy Einhorn about his upcoming Sabbatical: "My dear Temple Israel family: I will be taking the months of January and February to rest and research how other Reform Synagogues across North America present their services on Shabbat. I hope to return in March with fully recharged batteries and a new repertoire of musical ideas to share with you. I wish you all well until then."
