Last Friday evening's Shabbat service was a time for our temple family to look back and ahead.
We celebrated 15 years on our pulpit for Rabbi Helayne Shalhevet and Cantor Lisa Ann Wharton, honoring them with leaves on our sanctuary's Tree of Life. That same service, the rabbi and cantor offered blessings and thanks on behalf of our whole temple family, to the congregants who have volunteered to serve this year on our Governing Board.
"The leaf on the Tree of Life was a completely unexpected and deeply meaningful gesture," said Rabbi Shalhevet, "beautifully reflecting the essence of this congregation. It represents a community of caring individuals who lift one another up in moments of joy and support one another through life’s challenges. I know I speak for the cantor as well when I say that we feel truly honored, humbled and blessed to serve this congregation, and we look forward to many more years of nurturing and growing our Tree of Life together."
Pictured below with our clergy are our temple president, Rick Grossman, our senior vice president, Jay Zuckerman, our vice president, Bob Sandak, our financial secretary, Ellyn Stein, our recording secretary, Kevin Hyms, our new communications officer, Ellen Kushner, Sisterhood director Joan Zuckerman and trustees Nadine Greenberg, Rachel Ndembera, Joan Perrin and Harriet Willing.
