Meet and Greet Rabbi Loren Monosov and Her Husband Jeremy at a Wine and Cheese Party, Sat., Jan. 30th 7 P.M. to 9 P.M.
Babysitting is available
On behalf of the rabbinic search committee, I want to encourage you to join us as we welcome Rabbi Loren Monosov to TBEMC tonight and tomorrow. The schedule remains as shown below, and it has something for everyone: praying, learning, eating and drinking, and enjoying one another’s company. We want you to get to know Rabbi Monosov and to show her what a warm and welcoming place TBEMC is.
We also want your feedback. After Shabbat, share your thoughts and opinions with us. You can email the entire search committee at rabbisearch@tbemc.org or send your comments just to me at rabbisearch-chair@tbemc. Or if you type as slowly as I do, feel free to give me a call at 908-272-4688. This is your chance to be heard, so let us hear from you.
We look forward to seeing you this weekend.
Shabbat shalom,
Fred Kessler
