Another Day's Work

Volunteers were at the shul again today, moving all the seats back into the sanctuary so that the social hall, shell that it is, can be used for the kiddush lunches on the first and second days of Rosh HaShanah. We will be migrating back to the shul from Jefferson Baptist for these events.

A congregation in New Jersey sent our community Rosh HaShanah cards that their religious school students made. Our kids used them to decorate the social hall.

We will be back in the shul after the High Holidays, but the design and build process will take some time. We will need to be patient and live with the inconvenience of an unfinished space through much of 5766. This process cannot be rushed. It is too important. Remodeling on this scale only happens a few times in the life of a congregation. A renewed Beth Shalom will be this generation’s gift to the congregation’s future. We are in the midst of one of the most important tasks in Beth Shalom’s history. This work must and will be done with great care.

To all our friends and supporters around the country: Many blessings to you and Shanah Tovah.

To the Beth Shalom chevre: I’ll see you in church.
