Greetings to our new friends!

I am the current president of Congregation Ohr Shalom - Summit JCC. I, our board, our members, clergy, and staff are excited about the possibilities that a combination of our two congregations present. Having met with a number of your members and your wonderful rabbi, I share the conviction that we are a terrific match, sharing a common vision and approach to cultural, social and justice issues. As they say, though, seeing is believing.

I invite you to attend our services as well as any or all of our upcoming events. Below is the email blast that went out to our members highlighting January and February programs (and, of course, you can always go to www.summitjcc.org).

I particularly want to highlight our Artist in Residence weekend - January 24-26. This annual event brings in noteworthy contemporary musicians from around the country (and world) who perform during services and offer concerts during the 3 days. It is always amazing to see and hear the energy they bring and the spirit and participation they evoke.

I hope to see you soon.

With Regards,
Phil Kantor
