The Committee has been very busy this July with the logistics of gathering input from as many congregants as possible to best inform our search for Shomrei’s next Rabbi. We are so grateful to those of you who participated in the survey – and the focus groups are next! Please sign up here to ensure your individual voice is heard! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0845adad2ba75-rabbi.
