In a normal year we would be meeting in person this Sunday to report on the state of the schul, approve our new budget, elect our board members and officers, and share a community barbeque, but this has not been a normal year. Once again this year in an abundance of caution our annual meeting will be held online via Zoom.
At our annual meeting in June of 2019, we had no idea that a global pandemic would keep us physically apart for a year and a half. It has been challenging emotionally, logistically, and financially to keep our virtual doors open to serve our community, but the astounding fact is that we have. We observed our holidays, our religious school managed a full school year of learning, we celebrated a Bat Mitzvah, and our caring community was busier than ever. Even Food for Thought reinvented our distribution methods and provided food to 400 families. We have endured and learned and adapted.
This Sunday we will present our plans for the coming year including the joyous and difficult decisions we will have to make. I look forward to seeing you then.

And if not now, when? -Rabbi Hillel
