Congregation Sherith Israel Welcomes 21 New Members
Welcoming new members is always exciting for the community, and coming out of a pandemic year, it fills congregants with a special sense of joy and gratitude. The new member group has been especially vibrant and engaged in the synagogue community, attending Shabbat and holiday services, with some already stepping up in various service roles and activities. Membership VP Adam Horn shared, “This speaks volumes to the need and desire for Jewish belonging and connection; this has all occurred at a time of extra precautions and modified community gatherings to balance togetherness with safety during the COVID year.” Roberta Goodman, longtime board member and congregant added, “It’s heartwarming to welcome so many new families during a year that has been so challenging for so many of us. While so much this past year has been relegated to online activities, these new members affirm the importance of the bonds of community and the vibrancy of our Shul family.”
A special new member Shabbat celebration is scheduled for Saturday, June 12th. Congregation Sherith Israel is looking forward to officially honoring and welcoming our newest members into our synagogue family as we celebrate and safely schmooze together!
