Keeping Connected   January 2025

I hope everyone had a festive Hanukkah and I wish you all a Happy 2025!

We have a wonderful Shabbat planned to begin the year. On Friday, January 10, 2025 our school community is invited to gather together at 6:15pm for a Shabbat Pizza dinner followed by the January Family Shabbat at 7pm in which Kol Kolot will be joining!

Kol Kolot (meaning All Voices) is our new youth choir. There are twelves students, in grades 1st – 7th, who have been rehearsing together this year after Religious School. They are a spirited and enthusiastic group of children and we are all excited to have them help bring beautiful music to the January Family Shabbat. I hope you can plan to attend the Shabbat and support these wonderful singers. Arielle Richter leads the group and is accompanied by Jonathan Richter. It is a Shabbat that you won’t want to miss.

If you are planning on attending the Shabbat Pizza Dinner, please rsvp to eddirector@congregationshalom so that we can plan accordingly.

And don’t forget about Tasha, the puppy we are supporting through our tzedakah collection this year. Keep up the good work. As of this writing, we are just shy of $250. Our goal for the year is $500!

Looking forward to returning to school and seeing everyone again
