On Shabbat, December 31, we will be holding our first annual Hakarat Hatov Community Kiddush. This annual kiddush aims to thank and recognize all the people who make Shaare Tefillah a great place to congregate, daven and build a feeling of community: 

1) Rabbi Schiowitz for his continued guidance and halachik leadership

2) Judi Resnick for everything she does in managing the administration of the shul

3) Our vast array of committees: To all the people who have joined committees this year, created new committees to support the community; to those who have stepped down as committee heads after years of service and those in the community who have stepped up as committee heads this year. All of you have done so with the purpose of enhancing our programming and experience in the community. 

אחרון אחרון חביב - to the outgoing Shaare Board Members for their endless and tireless work on behalf of the community, both known and unknown. Whether it be through meetings, work done behind the scenes day in and day out, coordinating programing, engaging the membership and ensuring the community is operating in all facets. Thank you for your work over the past two years to help move the shul forward in a positive way and laying the groundwork for the next board to continue to be successful leaders for our community.
