A message from OVS President Michael Bouhadana

Our August Congregational Dinner was a beautiful event. Though a small group, we enjoyed a delicious and refreshing summer meal prepared by Margot Alfie, as well as an enlightening D’Var Torah from Rabbi Kassorla.

We are looking forward to our next Congregational Dinner in September; Margot is already thinking of ideas for a Sephardic Rosh Hashanah meal!

Also upcoming is a second focus group for adults 45 and under, either current or prospective members. Scheduled for August 25 at the Weber school, this event will help our Rabbinic Search Committee hone in on the wants and needs of this demographic. Your family’s involvement (either yourself, or your children or grandchildren) is crucial to our future success. It is so important that we communicate and collaborate as a community.

Finally, tomorrow (August 16) is Tu B’Av, the Jewish celebration of love. Be sure to show your love and appreciation for your husband or wife!

Shabbat Shalom,

Michael
