Message from the Presidium

April is here. Passover already. Where does the time go? It's time to reflect. So, what shall we reflect upon? Should we dwell on our problems and short comings? We think not!

Spring and Passover symbolize renewal and rebirth. As we await the return of the birds and the flower buds, let's make a commitment to renew ourselves, too Try something you never thought you would. Join a new committee. Think up some new ideas. Bring some new people with you to services. Share an experience you had with us. Write a story or a poem about your Temple Family. It's the time for change so .. let's change already!. It's time for a fresh approach. If we make things more attractive for ourselves - then we can be attractive to others. When that happens, we will begin to grow and flourish again.

This season is also the time for being mindful of the less fortunate. No matter how little we may think we have, there are always others with less. Remember the needy. Share what you have with others. Remember the Temple too. Share yourselves with us.

We wish you a Zissen Pesach.                              

Karen and Karyn
