From the President – February 18, 2022

Tonight we are gathering for our multi-access Shabbat service featuring Marney Margulies, candidate for cantor.  This marks a significant step on our slow and cautious return to a semblance of what was once normal.

Even though the state mask mandate has been lifted, we choose to continue our mask requirement.  We are a community.  We choose to care about and for each other.  We consider the minor inconvenience of wearing a mask well worth the safety it provides.  We will continue to monitor infection rates and hospitalization rates and adjust our policies as conditions change.

Meanwhile I look forward to seeing you and praying with you tonight.  We are even going to have a modified oneg to enjoy – including Mercedes’ home baked challah.  Join us.

If I am not for myself, who will be for me?

If I am not for others, what am I?

And if not now, when?   -Rabbi Hillel
