 guests from the community who attended. 
We are grateful for all the help with planning, 
preparation and participation that was given
 to make this event a success!

The Block-Babock 60th wedding vow renewal ceremony 
 was held  in the sanctuary 
 officiated by our "Mock Rabbi" Barry Fidelman 
and was well attended by family and local friends. 

A reception followed in the main banquet hall that was enjoyed by all in attendance. Many Thanks to the Babock family for donations
and as always, their support.

  "Bagels & Broadway II" Fund-raising event 
was held on Sunday, July 3
  as planned with our own lyric baritone Lou Price

 sang some of our favorite Broadway tunes (from shows such as
Oklahoma, Rent, Carousel, Man of LaMancha, Sweeny Todd,
Fiddler on the Roof and others)

The performance was wonderful and everyone who came
enjoyed a delicious buffet luncheon as well!
