Spring Brings on Repairs

Hello, dear members of Congregation Shalom! It’s been a beautiful spring, with flowers blooming and our neighborhood trees adorned in pink and white. But amidst all this beauty, our beloved synagogue building needs some TLC. Our membership has spoken! They’ve unanimously approved a budget to repair the exterior walls of our temple.

I want to thank everyone who attended the special meeting to discuss this important matter. Remember, our synagogue isn’t just a building; it’s a symbol of our community and our shared values. I want to express my deepest gratitude to Mitch Hyatt and Scott Reiter for their unwavering dedication to this project. Their hard work and commitment help make a real difference.

On a brighter note, last Sunday, we had a fantastic yard sale that was a huge success! The building was filled with amazing items, and we were thrilled to raise over $3,000. I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all the incredible volunteers who helped make this event happen. Your hard work and dedication are truly commendable.

Continuing along with the theme of repairing things, Sandy and Liz are continuing to work on the upgrade to ShulCloud, and Eileen Hirsch, Rabbi Perry, and the website team are working diligently with the website developer on our new website.

As summer approaches, we’ll soon be wrapping up another year. Our Congregation Shalom annual meeting will be held this year on Sunday, June 8th, at 6:15 p.m. This meeting is an opportunity for us to approve the budget for the upcoming year as well as new members to the board of trustees and executive committee. I’ll share more details about the meeting in the coming month.

The executive committee and Board of Trustees are eagerly looking forward to seeing you all there.

Warmest regards,

Rob Berkovitz
