We have shared so many words together over these past few weeks—prayers, songs, and sermons; “yashar koach”s, “g’mar chatimah tovah”s and comments with names of loved ones on Facebook or YouTube as our services streamed. We directed words to God and to one another as well.
The words that are most in my heart at this moment as we move from the Yamim Noraim, the Days of Awe, to the holiday of Sukkot are simply “thank you.”
Thank you to our clergy, our musicians, our choir, and the many volunteers who together touched our hearts with their song, inspired us with their teaching, and welcomed us with their full hearts.
Thank you to our staff, our Board of Directors, and our many volunteers for the tireless efforts that enabled us to celebrate the New Year and worship together on Yom Kippur—from home and on our beautiful campus as well—safely.
Thank you to our members and guests for their participation and generosity: we could not do any of this sacred work without your support.
Thank you to God for the gift of this wondrous world and for the opportunity You give us, once again, to sing Your praises together.
May 5782 be filled with health, peace, joy, community, and gratitude.
— Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback
