JANUARY SHABBAT

January Shabbat celebration :  Friday, January 19, 2018!  Details TBA

FROM CAY

Thank you, Linda….and Shir Hayam friends.

I very much appreciated the evening many of us spent together at Linda’s the other night, prompted by my soon-departure for a new job, a new adventure in the Netherlands.  It was a magical evening for me – so many beloved faces and warm hugs.  Some schmoozing, some gnoshing (including Dutch beer and Dutch cheese!), some singing…..and Carol even wrote a song – not sure everyone got to hear its loveliness!  I hope to see any of you that can see your way to the Netherlands in the next 2 years at my new home (home?  well… never, really….).  There will always be room.

A khartfelt dank, aun fil libe….

Go Kugs!
