Thank you to the over 200 community members that joined us over the holiday making it an inspirational and uplifting experience! Thank you to our staff Chazzan Daniel Gavin, our Rabbinic Interns Mendel Greenberg & Mendel Galperin and Sara Galperin. Major thumbs up to all the community members who helped setup and breakdown!
At our Yom Kippur appeal, Allison made a heartfelt plea to get involved in our building campaign. You
should have received our brochure with all the information. You can read more about it and participate at www.chabaduptown.org/building to help us reach our $400,000 goal! Track our campaign thermometer on the right side of our website.
Wondering what a menorah has to do with Yom Kippur? Beautiful front page article in the Houston Chronicle appeared last Friday, Erev Yom Kippur. Check it out here.
