Shul News & Notes

With the combination of Covid restrictions lifting and outdoor activities ramping up with the onset of summer weather, Lunch and Learn, is taking a summer break. The twice weekly Zoom program was initiated at the height of the Covid pandemic to help shul members maintain connections during the health crisis that closed our shul building. L&L will resume after the High Holidays in the fall. Enjoy the summer.

Lunch and Learn highlighted the many interests and talents of our shul members and invited guests, and we extend a mega-thank you to participants and loyal attendees. During the first year, beginning on April 20, 2020, with Ron Rothman talking about his grandfather’s friendship with Albert Einstein, L&L also welcomed Adrianne Greenberg, Marian Friedmann, Susan Rosenstreich, Deborah Pittorino, Melissa Berman, Ladan Shalom-Murray, Elizabeth Holtzman, Saul Rosenstreich, Dan and Nancy Torchio, Dr. Lewis Teperman, Ellen Jaffe, Francis DuBois, Roberta Garris, Dede Whitsit, Bill Packard, Michael and Cookie Slade, Miriam Gabriel, Sylvia Daly, Rachel Levin Murphy, Ellen Wiederlight, Jody Levin, Stephen Brumberg, Jack Weiskott, Kasa Bayisin, Josh Clauss, Rabbi Gadi, and Sara Bloom.
