Monthly Message
According to our tradition, by wondrous deeds and miracles those
who tried to destroy us were themselves destroyed. When the Jews were led out of Egypt
and into freedom, they accepted a covenant - a renewed life and challenges of
faith, spirit and belief. When we
celebrate Purim, Pesach and Shavuot this year, may we all retain the vision of
our beautiful heritage. We pray that our
ideals and devotion to our ideals will allow the miracles performed in the city
of Shushan, the land
of Mitzraim, and at Mount
Sinai, to again protect and deliver all the Jewish people into a new
generation of faith, prosperity and joy.
Warmly,
Annette Shandalow-Hassell, Honorary Trustee
