Our Chai-ish Celebration was a wonderful, “hamish,” joyful event that brought so many of us together in the best way possible. We loved the oral histories narrated by our past presidents, Gita Berman, Lynn Epstein, Abby Friedman, Sherry Frank, Betsy Edelman, Fred Wachter, Marc Medwed and Ben Nadler.
We thank all of you for your support of our community and for being a part of our wonderful 18 year history. It was so fantastic for so many of us to gather and and celebrate us! Please flip through the beautiful Tribute Book below and peruse the photo gallery of the evening’s festivities.
