I would guess that there is no one reading this who has not been affected by Alzheimer's Disease. Whether it be a family member or friend or colleague, we all know someone who has suffered tremendously from the effects of dementia.
Team TBS is walking this Saturday morning to help find a cure. There are seven of us walking so far. Wouldn't it be nice to double that number?
Please join us in person or make a donation if you cannot be there.
The shorter walk is .5 miles and the longer walk is 1.5 miles. I cannot think of a better way to celebrate Sukkot as a congregation.
It is not too late to sign up. See the info below in the newsletter.
Chag Sameach, Rabbi Susan
