I am so pleased to have seen so many familiar and fresh faces joining us for our High Holy Day services.
Thank you to all of our volunteer readers, singers, ushers, greeters, security volunteers and other participants. You are truly part of what makes our community a family.
Thank you also to Anita Aronoff, along with our wonderful staff, whose planning and logistic efforts (often behind the scenes) help things go seamlessly.
Thank you to Rebecca Elkus-Ferst for all you do with our youth to engage them, teach them, and encourage them to be part of our Temple life as they grow.
Especially, thank you to Rabbi Jesse Gallop and Cantor Rita Glassman who celebrated their first High Holy Days with us as our spiritual leaders. Your warmth and inspiration are infectious. No mask can stop the feelings of happiness we have, to have you as our spiritual leaders.
In the coming days and weeks I hope you will continue to join your Temple family members as our season of festivities continues with Sukkot and Simchat Torah. Of course, we welcome everyone to join us each and every Friday evening for services when we come together as a community to welcome Shabbat. Lastly, if you are interested in sharing your interests, and expertise, join a Temple committee by filling out the interest committee online form at www.tinr.org/committees.
I look forward to continually welcoming you as we renew the warmth of our Temple family.
SHANAH TOVAH!
