Message from our team
Rabbi's message
Pesach is over.
We are in full count of the Omer. A custom that we usually leave aside for "those who comply", or "for the orthodox", or "for the mystics".
It is true that the whole period of the Omer is something of a mystery. Something that seems to be destined for a few to know what it is about, others to fulfill some things without understandingthem well and a majority not even questioning none of it.
Our President's message
MAY this find everyone healthy.
MAY we see spring in the Mohawk Valley.
MAY this month bring you to theTemple.
MAY you greet Rabbi Geier.
Our Executive Director's message
Dear Friends,
By the time you get this bulletin we will have enjoyed a Seder, the 8 days of Passover, and hopefully it will be warmer on close to a daily schedule.
Our Seder was lovely from the words of the Haggadah to the delicious Passover food, yes, we do like matzah. It will be very nice to see Rabbi Geier and I hope we will be able to hold our services in our lovely sanctuary in our original auditorium, which is very warm and welcoming.
