Rabbi’s Reflections ~ Annual Meeting Gathering together annually to share the news of the synagogue is a way to show our support and love for this wonderful congregation. It is a celebration of who we are and where we are headed as well as a review of all the terrific things we've accomplished in the past year.
I always look forward to the Annual Meeting. It's short and sweet but filled with good feelings and positive energy. And, with almost my first year completed at TBS, I am excited to be with you all on this special morning.
Let's fill the room for an hour or so as we celebrate. And, yes, food will be served!
