SAVE THE DATE - ANNUAL CONGREGATIONAL MEETING

Please join us via Zoom on Friday, June 12 at 6:15pm for the Annual Meeting of the Congregation. As is our tradition, we will meet for five minutes prior to the 6:30pm Shabbat service. It is an opportunity to acknowledge and honor the leadership of Dr. Michael Blum, who completes his two-year term as President.
