Thank you to everyone who took a moment to donate to light our community menorah!
And thank you to everyone who joined us for such a great Shabbat/Hannukah Celebration. The menorah lighting was beautiful. The latkes, donuts and other goodies were delicious - better since they were shared with friends. The music led by Jeremy Gimbel, with the help of David Kaminski and the other band members, was fantastic. It was a very special night.
If you were not able to join us, we have videos of all the music on our YouTube page. We'd like to share Rabbi Eger's uplifting sermon from Friday night with you:
