As I wind up my term as president, I look back with a good feeling. We have a congregation which is the warmest, most caring and loving to which I have ever belonged. One of my goals was to increase our membership. We did grow, only not as much as I had hoped we would. As we came out of the pandemic, we added more and more activities. Sisterhood has been extremely active. Flamingle is usually sold out. Services are usually well attended. All in all, we have a vibrant congregation.
Security, unfortunately, is always a concern. We rehired the Sheriff’s deputies after the private firm failed to meet its obligations. Fortunately, we have not had any incidences of antisemitism of any kind. We are shortly going into our summer slowdown. Services will be once a month. Please, try to come.
As you are aware, Steve McCloskey will once again be our president. I hope you will give him the support you gave me.
Here’s to another 25 years of NJC.
