Message from the President I am humbled and inspired by your confidence in electing me to be presi-dent of our wonderful shul for the next two years. While the responsibil-ity is great, I am grateful to have the support and assistance of a won-derful executive board and a supremely capable and hardworking gen-eral board. The shul owes a tremendous debt of gratitude for the hard work they have already invested in the short time since I have assumed the presidency and for the hard work which they continue to invest on a daily basis, quietly and without fanfare, to ensure that our shul continues to be the vibrant, diverse, and welcoming shul we all know and love. We are in the process of updating our shul contact records so that we can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of our communications. To that end, either I or another board member will be reaching out to you to con-firm and/or update our contact information, and your cooperation in this important process will be greatly appreciated. I look forward to working with you over the next two years, and should you have any questions or concerns that you would like to discuss, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Have a great Shabbos! Eli Robbins
