A Few Words from Rabbi Craig Marantz

Shalom Chevrei:

To be sure, 2018 presented us many challenges. The world proved so fragile, our lives so vulnerable. And, yet, our tradition teaches us that, just like our ancestors transformed their afflictions into responsiveness and resilience, we, too, can summon the resolve to press on whatever life's complexities and make life and loss matter. As we commence 2019, I pray that we as a community, collectively and individually, find new and fresh ways to renew body, mind, and spirit and the courage to change our lives for the better.
