Shanah Tovah!

Jeffrey Feld, Federation President/CEO

Once again, we approach the High Holy Day timeframe. We do look forward to a new year, but we are compelled to reflect on the year that is coming to an end. We hope and pray for a good year to come. This past year has been cast in the shadow of the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. It was the most tragic and devastating day in the Jewish world since the Holocaust. Even in light of such a terrible time, we must always find a way to look for light, to go forward. It is a challenge to be positive, but we are required to find a way to do so.

As a Jewish community, we find ways to come together, to work together, to build together, in order to provide for current and future generations. Although we have faced great adversity, the Jewish community perseveres!

On behalf of my wife, Susan, and me, please accept our best wishes for you and all those dear to you for a happy, healthy, sweet, secure and peaceful Shanah Tovah in 5785!
