A message from OVS President Michael Bouhadana

The High Holidays are fast approaching; please ensure that you receive your packet, being sent out next week. Our High Holyday committee has been working hard to ensure that the programs meet the needs of all our members, incorporating feedback received last Fall. I’m particularly looking forward to the return of master guest Chazan, Rabbi Abraham Sultan and the wonderful teamwork between him and our own Rabbi Kassorla.

And if you are hosting a meal for Rosh Hashanah or any of the upcoming holidays, we hope that you will consider making room for more. We have a number of members who are alone, or live far away from family, and would appreciate sharing a holiday meal. Please let the office know if you are willing to host one or more members for a holiday meal; let’s ensure that no one in our community spends the holidays alone! 

The Nominating Committee is ramping up to nominate the OVS board members for 2020. The slate for the upcoming board will be announced and confirmed by the membership at the General Meeting in December. I hope that our future board will be as hard-working and dedicated as our past and current board members! 

Shabbat Shalom,

Michael
