July
President’s Message Friends, Well, it’s that
time of year again. Schools out! No more pencils, no more books, no more
teacher’s … Oh, I forgot - this is a president’s note. Ahem. There is a time
for everything. That’s what we’re told in Kohelet (Ecclesiastes). And as we
all know, summer is the time for fun – so let’s all go forth and have
some. I hope you all have some plan for fun this summer. As we say in the
corporate world, we must execute the plan flawlessly. I expect a “What I did
on my Summer Vacation” report from all of you in September. Two pages, single
spaced – and spelling counts. With Yacob away
until early July, we’ve had to take turns with the shul chores. Thanks to all
who are helping. And special thanks to Judy Mercer for purchasing a new
vacuum cleaner to make the job easier. Judy and another member are donating
toward the full cost. On August 6 at
1:30 to 3:30 we are all invited to share a special and very joyous occasion
– the 100th Birthday of Rebbetzin Esther Solomon. Mrs.
Solomon and her late husband Rabbi Solomon contributed so much to our shul
and the Rochester Jewish Community during their lifetimes. Please come to the
Jewish Home on that date and share Mrs. Solomon’s simcha. The following
Sunday we will hold the Annual BHBI picnic right on shul grounds. I look
forward to seeing you all there as we round out our summer fun requirements. Have a great
summer and …. see you at shul. Harris
