As we reflect on the past year and prepare to step into the year ahead, we are filled with gratitude for this community. Together, we have accomplished a great deal this past year. Some of these milestones include:
- Offering regularly scheduled in-person events at our shul, the ONLY Jewish building east of the Cascades.
- Broadening our Jewish learning with Sherri Shulman and others at our weekly Torah Study (via Zoom).
- Gathering semi-monthly for in-person services and the Oneg schmoozing afterwards.
- Sharing Hanukkah, Passover, Purim, and other festivities with our friends at Temple Beth Tikvah, Chabad, and myriad non-affiliated Jewish members of Central Oregon; all are welcome.
- Involving more volunteer members to help maintain our wonderful facilities – it takes a village, to borrow a phrase.
- Expanding involvement of the Community Religious school in our space.
- Electing an energetic, new Board to carry us forward into the new year.
- Welcoming Apogee, a private K-8 school in our space.
- And thanking returning and new member families!
