Happy New Year!
Wow, I can't believe that 2019 is over. Time flies when you are busy. I feel like it was last night that I sat down to work on my Yom Kippur appeal to welcome in the Jewish New Year. Now I am discussing the past and future at calendar year end.
It has been a very interesting year at ENJC. 2019 began the Hazzan Walvick era at ENJC. Hazzan has brought with him tremendous energy, both in the sanctuary and in the building. It is a great feeling when you see that Hazzan and his family care about making ENJC better than the rest.
Please come down and join us for Shabbat services and/or games. Shabbat games have become a popular activity for our membership and we will feature them often. Don't forget we have Souper Shabbat coming on February 1. It would be nice to have good turnout. Who can say no to hot soup on a cold February day?
This past fall we rolled out our ENGAGE programming, led by Sue Kazzaz. The activities have been numerous and diversified, i.e. book clubs, canasta, Mah Jongg, movie night, baking, genealogy or socializing. Some have been well attended, but we are always looking for more to participate.
My New Year's wish would be to have more congregants attend and support our daily minyan. In 2019 our turnout for events was wonderful and I would like to see it grow more in 2020.
Amanda, Danny, Meryl and I wish all a Happy and Healthy New Year, from our family to yours!
