Shalom!
I hope everyone enjoyed the festivities of Chanukah. I know a lot of you are now on Winter Break from school and /or work, and I wish you special times with friends and family!

The next few months will bring some new musical developments to Adath Shalom! I am excited to tell you that we will be having some Musical Friday Night Shabbat services, with a professional pianist, our own professional, Andy Silbert, on clarinet, and Carol Meiseles, on violin!
