A Note on Our New Space
I know many of you are eager to settle in to our new space at 151 Warren St., as am I. Once we signed the lease 10 days ago, the workers immediately began the tasks needed to make the space ready for our use. While they have not yet given us a final date, we expect it to be within the next couple of weeks. Thanks to all of you for your patience. We know that Hanukkah is coming up and are hoping we can celebrate together in our new space, but as of right now, we cannot confirm this. Rest assured we’ll keep you posted. Wherever we gather, then, individually or together, may we find joy and peace in kindling light this season. (If you are looking for Hanukkah ideas, blessings, and other resources, try these from the Union for Reform Judaism.)
