Thank You

Our family deeply appreciates the entire Congregation Shalom community's support throughout the twelve years that Stephanie was sick. We especially appreciate your support toward the end of her life and in the immediate aftermath. The generosity, outreach, and caring have been amazing and helps make this hard time a little easier. Thank you for the cards, emotional support, food, Shava calls, donations to the Helping Hand fund, support with the memorial service, donations to the Temple in her memory, rides to doctor appointments over the years, and so many other things that I don't think I could possibly name them all.  

Thank you so much,

Jon (Libby), Ira (Libby), Julian (Libby-Gallagher, and Amelia (Libby-Gallagher)

It is with a very sincere & warm thank you to all of our Shalom family for the get well wishes, calls & donations made for Bill’s recovery from surgery. Your caring & concern meant so much to the both of us during this time. 

Bill & Joan Bernstein

The Good and Welfare donations to the congregation wishing me a speedy recovery are so very much appreciated. Enriching the congregation in this way is truly heart-warming. Thank you and Shalom!

Linda Worden

We are extremely grateful to all who sent notes, and to all who made donations to the Congregation to honor the birth of our grandson, Sawyer Kravitz Goss. We feel very fortunate to belong to Congregation Shalom.
