I go to the hospital to visit congregants and there are so many of you also visiting that there isn't enough room to sit down. Bottom line: We care about one another.
We spend 4 sessions discussing Israel through thoughtful and respectful and passionate conversation. Bottom line: We love Israel.
On a Friday night when we are overwhelmed by the world, we honor Shabbat by singing Broadway tunes robustly and with great delight. Bottom line: We share joy together.
We care, we show up, we take time to give of ourselves. What a blessing you are to me and to one another.
