update on spotlight 2020: cantor chomsky's opus

While COVID-19 has postponed our in-person Spotlight 2020 and celebration of Cantor Chomsky, it has not cancelled it!
Share your love of and appreciation for Cantor Chomsky and his 38 years of service and friendship at Congregation Tifereth Israel. Submit a short video (no more than 1 to 2 minutes, please) of you, alone or with family and friends, telling Cantor Chomsky (and Susan!) how you feel and wishing him well in the next stage of his life - making aliyah and becoming a grandparent! Your video will be shared on social media and/or compiled into a longer collection.
For instructions on how to participate in this project, click

We remain extremely grateful to the members of our community who have already committed to a sponsorship and/or made dinner/ticket purchases. While we await clarity on what the future holds, we encourage you, if you have not already done so, to continue to honor Cantor Chomsky in this way. To do so, please contact

looking for those who need help or can offer assistance
|
After coordinating with
Jewish Family Services
, we have created a
survey
, which we would encourage you to complete. It asks if you have the means to offer some kind of assistance, require assistance, or would like to share with us in confidence the name of someone who might need assistance but does not know how to ask. We are constantly brainstorming ways to protect the health of everyone in the community while still offering a way to help. Please fill out the
survey
and thank you, in advance, to all those who are able to help and to those who have the courage to ask for help in this time of need. Click
HERE
to find the survey and please feel free to share it with anyone who might need it.
