From the President – April 8, 2021

According to the Mercury News, Governor Newsom expects California to “fully reopen” its economy on April 15.  I am still a little doubtful.  We are too close to the end to mess it up now.  We still have to be careful.  In fact our board, along with Rabbi Dean and Cantor Shayndel, all agree that when we can reopen we will proceed with an  abundance of caution.  We will follow all CDC, state, and county recommendations and slowly and carefully return to in person activities and we have reason to be optimistic that we can reopen fairly soon if not next week as the Governor indicated.  

We have a lot of work to do to ensure all of our safety, but I am confident that our community is up to it.  In fact, if you have knowledge and/or skills that may help please contact Jane Durango, Linda Rose, or me.  

 

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
