In these tragic and scary times we stand with all those victimized by senseless hatred and fanaticism, at home, in Israel, and abroad. We pray for safety, healing, and peace.

 

We wish a Mazal Tov to Mimi & Ben Vago on the birth of a son.

 

We wish a Mazel Tov to Rebekah & Max Tokatlilar on the birth and naming of their daughter, Zelda Michal Frances.
