Dear Friends,
As we step into the beginning of the secular year, I hope this letter finds you and your loved ones in good health and high spirits.

The turning of the calendar provides us with an opportunity to reflect on the past year and envision the path ahead. We recall our shared journey full of Tikkun Olam, educational opportunities for all ages, social engagement and ritual observance.

Together, we also gathered in mourning the terror attack on October 7 and rising antisemitism both around the world and in our backyard.

Our Hebrew School is bustling with learning and outside activities. Adult education 
began a monthly learning session in addition to Lunch & Learns and Neighbors in
Community. Our education programs continue to grow.

In the year ahead, we look forward to continuing these and more. Our community is built
on faith, fellowship, and the pursuit of a meaningful and fulfilling life. Let us continue to
draw strength from our traditions and each other. May we bring light into our homes and
our synagogue, spreading kindness, compassion, and generosity both within and
beyond our community.

I invite you to join us in celebrating the milestones and moments that shape our
collective experience. Whether it’s through prayer, learning, or acts of service, let’s
renew our commitment to each other and to the values that unite us as a congregation.

With gratitude for all we share and anticipate what lies ahead, I wish each of you a year
filled with health, peace, and joy.

B’Shalom,
Pam Sender
