Dear Friends,
A beautiful first days of the Yom Tov was had with over 65 attending Sukkot dinner under the stars and tens more joining for the festivities over the three day marathon. The new playground was also a big hit! Special thanks to our juniors Dan Melnik and Mendel Lazaroff who accompanied Mark Stern and Rabbi Chaim on a tour of the Galleria on Yom Tov, helping over 40 people make the blessing over the Lulav and Etrog!
Mazel Tov to Leonid & Margarita Kalmanovich on the birth of TWINS - a baby boy and girl! The girl was named Dana at the Torah on the first day of Yom Tov.
