Photos from our congregational Chanukah celebration in December, 2009.

Here are the smiling faces of congregants who attended the annual meeting on May 3, 2009. This photo, in which Congregant Shira Hadditt holds our historic Torah scroll, was taken by Alan Hahn, and will be brought by our president, Barbara Lesch McCaffry, to Prague, Czech Republic, where the names of the victims from Sobeslaw are inscribed on the walls of the Pinkas Synagogue, now a moving a Holocaust memorial site.

Below are pictures from our Ner Shalom Passover Seder 2009. It was deep, uplifting, playful and intense - or at least "in tents", as the sanctuary was draped in fabric to create an Ohel Mo'ed - a tent of meeting, where more than 100 of us (mostly) reclined on the ground and together told the tale of our ongoing liberation.
