President's Message

Greetings everyone!

I am very excited as we prepare for the upcoming high holidays! We have been busy all summer in preparation. Honors, speeches, sermons, choir practice, getting the building and grounds all spruced up! I always looked forward to the holidays - the chance to see everyone, to catch up on how my former students are doing!
​
Serving as President of our congregation has given me a new perspective on how meaningful the holidays are for our entire congregation. Yes, I still very much look forward to seeing everyone, most especially my former students, hearing about their adventures and watching as them grow. But now I realize how very important the high holidays are to our synagogue. Those days are our opportunity to see you all, to tell you how we are doing, to share our accomplishments and most importantly, to assure you that your synagogue is here for you, a place of prayer, safety, serenity and caring in a very crazy world.

I look forward to seeing you all during the upcoming holidays and festivals throughout the fall season.
From my home to yours, wishing each of you a very sweet and Happy New Year!

Ilene S. Herr
President
