Shalom Everybody!
September 30, 2020
Shalom Shir Chadash parents,

It was wonderful seeing so many of your kids on Zoom during my and Rabbi Michael's Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services, our "Whale of a Tale" Jonah program with Lis and Hugo Kahn, and our inaugural Kabbalat Shabbat for Families on Shabbat Shuvah. Thank you to everyone who participated in these programs and demonstrated that a worldwide pandemic is no match for our dedicated community!

I hope you all had a meaningful and fulfilling Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and I hope you'll join us again over the next couple of weeks for our Sukkot and Simchat Torah offerings.

Shanah Tovah,
Meryl Zimmerman
Education Director
