From President Mark Stone

June 2010

As I write this article we are a few days away from what I hope will be a successful initiative for Sinai and our neighboring Synagogues. Of course, I am referring to the "try a synagogue" collaboration I have talked about in the past. Your Temple President, Clergy, Board and Exec members have been working hard to put this program together. We have sent emails, flyers and many of you should have received calls from a Board member about this initiative. But, I must confess, as hard as we have worked, the main thrust for this will come from the synagogue congregants themselves and not from those who have put this program together. Your connection with any unaffiliated Jews in this area is paramount to its success. So please, if you know someone who is unaffiliated, be sure they attend one of our events over the summer. For more information on this please go to the web site www.tryasynagogue.org.

Over the past few months, I have had congregants ask how we are doing. I encourage those of you who would like an answer to this question to attend our annual meeting scheduled for Thursday, June 10th. At this meeting we will be honoring those who have volunteered at Sinai over this past year. We will also give you an update on what has been accomplished this year and our plans for next year. The evening we have planned will be fun, enjoyable and informative. We begin at 6 p.m. with a free BBQ dinner. Your whole family (adults and children) are welcome. I look forward to seeing you there.

Since this bulletin spans the beginning of summer, I would like to wish you and your families a safe and enjoyable summer. As always, I thank you for your consideration of what we as a congregation can do for Sinai.
