I hope that all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! It's my favorite weekend of the year–relaxing and enjoying life with my family. Exciting times in the Brecher family... My niece just delivered baby Josie to the world. Amanda is enjoying her work experience as charter coordinator at Talon Air. Danny is starting as a salesman at Electromed. Great to be young and on the move!
ENJC is on the move also. 2019 has been a wonderful year and the majority of our activities have had wonderful turnouts. The shul has been rocking with ruach since July 1, with Hazzan Walvick and family joining us! Hazzan's energy is contagious, and you cannot help but be moved by attending the services he leads! Hazzaz has been having Game Day Shabbats after services for children of all ages. When you play a game with Hazzan, play at your own risk- he plays to WIN! I am ready for a rematch on December 7th. It might be all the participants attaching him.
We had an awesome evening celebrating the Woman and Man of the Year on November 14th. Sisterhood honored Lori Maldavir and Men's Club honored Scott Keiser- two well-deserved congregants whose entire families have led and participated in activities too numerous for me to list. My article would fill the entire Bulletin! YASHER KOACH to both the Maldavir and Keiser families!
On a recent Shabbat we were treated to a bright look at the year to come. All eleven students from the Hay Class were at the Shabbat service and read from the Torah. They also participated in other prayers throughout the service. The congregation should be looking forward to these children's B'nai Mitzvahs in the months ahead. I know I am!
Please make your reservations early for our Chanukah Dinner on December 13th. I hope all will enjoy the evening.
May I be the first to wish you a "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
