Commentary

We'd like to start the new year by thanking those who have given us so much this past year.

Thank you, Rabbi Lobel, for the energy, spiritual leadership, and divrei Torah you have provided our community. We can't express how grateful we are to have such a learned mensch in our midst. Your dedication, leadership, and wealth of knowledge are truly inspiring.

Thank you, Rebbetzin Lobel, for the warmth and caring you bring to our community. Thank you for the hospitality and terrific kiddushes. Thank you for the classes. And thank you for befriending so many of us.

Thank you, Steven Dublon, our president, for your tireless efforts to support our shul. From minyan to maintenance, it all happens because you're there to make it so.

Thank you, Eleanor Edelstein, for organizing all the fund raising and social activities of our proud sisterhood.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the minyan and our activities. Thanks to those who clean and maintain our shul. Thanks to those who generously donated their time and money.

Thanks to the Rabbeim and Talmidim of Yeshiva Gedolah for helping make our community a place of Torah.

Thank you, God, for blessing us with such a wonderful community.

Shanah Tovah U'Metukah!
