Goodbye summer, hello fall! This is a very challenging article to write–I don't know if you will be reading this article before the High Holidays, during the Holidays, or after. So I would like to wish all a L'Shannah Tovah! I hope that all are enjoying or have enjoyed our first High Holidays with Hazzan Walvick and Rabbi Silverman leading the services together. It is never too early or late to be wished a Happy and Healthy New Year! October is a wild ride with all the holidays; I feel that by November 1st I will have spent more hours in the shul than at home!
I am very happy to report that our V.P. of Membership, Linda Pollack, has been extremely busy! As of the writing of this article, we have 23 new member families since last year at his time! We welcome all of you to our shul and hope that you please join us in many of our activities throughout the year and for many years after.
There are four dinners coming up in the next four months. There are two on Shabbat, and we hope you will join us for dinner, followed by a ruach-filled Shabbat service. As the saying goes, "Try it, you'll like it." We have our annual Sukkot Chavurah Dinner on Friday, October 18th. We will attempt to have dinner in the sukkah, but I believe that the chance of rain is 90% that night! Rain has never put a damper on the evening; we just move the dinner to the ballroom. The Chanukah Chavurah Dinner will be on Friday, December 13th. During November, Sisterhood and Men's Club will be having their annual dinners. The Sisterhood Dinner is on November 7th and the Men's Club Dinner is on November 14th. These dinners are wonderful evenings honoring a Woman and Man of the Year. These honors go to those women and men who have made a difference over the years. New members are invited as our guests to the Sukkot Chavurah Dinner, the Sisterhood Dinner and the Men's Club Dinner.
I hope to see many of you throughout the year, praying or having a great time at any event.
See you in shul–
