I am sure I am not the only one that is wishing Spring was here. It is only 6 weeks away and hopefully the time will fly by fast.
Dave Hertzbach, one of our new members lead his first Friday Night service on January 3rd and what a great job he did. Hopefully you will be able to see him lead another service soon. If you would like to lead a Friday Night service there is a signup sheet on the table as you come into the synagogue.
February is a month for Love, so this is a very good reason to welcome 6 new families to our synagogue. Mark your calendar for February 23rd at 12 noon for brunch and to welcome our new families to Congregation Sha’are Shalom’s family. Look for the announcement in this newsletter.
May 10th we will have our Annual Membership Meeting and election for President, Secretary and Financial Secretary. Next month newsletter will have the job descriptions for each position. It will also be on our web site. Please be thinking and praying about these positions and when somebody from the Nomination Committee calls you, please say Yes.
On December 31, 2013 Congregation Sha’are Shalom receive as a donation gifts of two photographs by photographer Bill Aron entitled “Synagogue” and “Yom Kippur Torah Reading”. These photographs were donated by Stephen and Toby Kahn from Bethesda, Md to honor Rabbi Arnold Saltzman for his many kindnesses to their family.
We will be hanging them in the synagogue soon.
Check out the newsletter for more information on things that are happening at Congregation Sha’are Shalom and come join us.
Shalom, Jackie
