Many thanks to Hanna who led our High Holydays with such beautiful spirit and song and the Ruach Committee who worked so hard planning this year’s services. Thanks also to the Kugelettes and to Jon Garfunkel for their wonderful music, to all those who enriched our services with their thoughts, experiences, stories, prayers, flowers and candles, and to those who made special effort to open, set up, decorate and clean up the Fil-Am Hall.
