After an incredibly meaningful Rosh Hashana, I thank all who have joined us for Holiday services and those who participated in leading the services – Cantor Wilschanski and Alan Salzbank for his davvening and very entertaining speeches. Thanks to Manny & Mojdeh Malekan for a wonderful Kiddush (which had enough leftovers to keep us munching the second day as well) and to Joel Avelarde (a.k.a.Yoel) for going beyond the call of duty, setting up the shul to look so beautiful and clean and taking care of the prayer books and tallises (and by the way, Happy bday Joel). We thank the Kohens who blessed us on the Holiday .

Much appreciation to Rabbi Weinberg and his team of staff as well as all local teen volunteers for running an outstanding children's service, which received all around rave reviews. Thanks Rabbi Glogauer for doing a great job with the shofar and Bob Brenner (aka Bobbie Blooze) for bloozing the last 30 sounds of the shofar. Thank you to all the usherettes, Carol Arnold, Tami Rubin, Galia Greener, Stacey Satovsky, Ron Salstein, Sheryl Pinner, Fern Weingast.

I also thank everyone for the wonderful feedback I received for services. As always, it was a pleasure and inspiration to share the High Holidays with this wonderful community.

During this special time of year it's an opportunity to bring friends and neighbors to get a taste of the Chabad House experience. Please reach out and extend an invitation to people you think might enjoy our shul and invite them to join for perhaps one of the Yom Kippur services.

As our membership drive continues which makes us stronger as a community, I'm happy to report that a number of new families have joined our membership for this year. I ask you to help in this membership drive by joining yourself or encouraging others to do so. Every new family that you bring to our membership family receives 50% off the membership dues for the first year (and you will receive a 10% discount on your membership as well.) If you've been considering joining but funds are an issue, please send me a confidential email and I'll be happy to set a fee that suits your level of comfort and finances. We'd like our entire community to become part of the membership family of Chabad. Make the move – join today!

Best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom & a Happy, Healthy & Sweet New Year!

Rabbi Shalom M. Paltiel
