 Artist Wendy Graff
Wendy started creating jewelry by forging fine and sterling silver wire into hand-fused and hand-textured shapes. She wraps fine-gauge wire around some of these elements, embellishes others with beads and semi-precious stones, and applies patina to enhance the hammered surfaces. More recently, Wendy combines vintage buttons and findings to create pieces with a look that is both classic and modern.

'Shaynem Dank'
Beautiful Thanks to All Volunteers
This year's Kadima High Holy Days services and potlucks were perhaps the loveliest ever! Thank you to everyone who helped, from designing the postcard in July to turning out the lights last Saturday night. Shana tova!
Although we hope to list everyone who helped with services, we are quite certain that we have not! We didn't see everyone who helped with clean up, for example. We weren't in the parlor the entire time. Please know that we thank you for your time and effort!
