Letter from Rabbi Ross

From the Rabbi’s desk:

Appreciation:
We are in the midst of the the fall harvest festival of Sukkot, and we have much to be grateful for this season! A personal thank you to Cantorial soloist Robin Selinger and pianist Peter Tavens for your musical leadership at the High Holidays! A deep thank you to Laurie Frankino, and all of the TBS volunteers who stepped up to make the High Holidays so beautiful and meaningful!
