Shalom,

This is the time of year when it’s hard for a rabbi to catch her breath!  The holidays – from Pesach to Yom HaShoah to Yom HaZikaron to Yom HaAtzmaut to Shavuot – seem to lead from one straight into the next. Next month as we prepare to receive Torah on Shavuot, I will share with you parting words and thoughts

In the meantime, let’s enjoy spending these last months together – celebrating our freedom and our homeland, and remembering those we have lost along the way. I hope to have a chance to see each and every one of you before I head to my new position (I can finally formally announce that I am heading to Boston where I will be the Rabbi at Temple Beth David of the South Shore). If you aren’t planning to attend Shabbat or holiday services between now and June, please feel free to arrange a time to get together so we can say goodbye! Time tends to fly by at this time of year but I hope you will all join me in making the most of each day.

Enjoy the Spring weather and I’ll hope to see you soon!

Rabbi Gottlieb
