Thank you to everyone who joined us for the holidays this year.
Mitzvah g’dolah lihyot b’simcha tamid. — “It is a great mitzvah to be joyful at all times.” (Rabbi Nachman of Breslav)
A big shout out to everybody who showed up a few weeks ago to help celebrate Simchat Torah here at Temple Concord! We had a great time dancing with the Torah in the social hall, and it meant a lot that enough people turned out for us to unroll the scroll all the way for a rare chance to see the Torah all at once. Looking forward to next year, and hopefully to many more opportunities for joy between now and then.
