The same Note of Thanks must be said for the preparation of High Holidays. Barry did a wonderful job managing the kitchen, overseeing and cooking! Our cleaning lady, Betsy, did a great job spiffing things up inside! Mike and Hy tended to the groundskeeping chores, Hy, Shelly, Bea & Min set up tables for the Kiddush that follows the services. BethAnn Pearce-Davis and Barry made several challahs from scratch, (nice to have homemade!) Sue Price made several Kugel for the Break-The-Fast, and Barry prepared all the rest!

Services however, were sparsely attended.
Making a minyan and alliah is a special mitzvot for those who can dedicate the time, and are most appreciated!
There is talk of expanding the service to be more interactive and have more participation in English. Please let your feelings be heard right away so plans can be made now to be approved for future services!

The Sukka-Bration Mobile arrived at 4pm Monday with Rabbi Mordecai Haller, his lovely wife and children from Grand Rapids to help us observe the mitzvohs of Sukkot in honor of Hy Price, as he would have wanted us to do.

Simchat Torah is Oct 11th

After Yom Kippur comes the REMINDER

that dues are payable now.


Billing statements will be sent out. If the address sticker on it was printed in BLACK, your dues are paid-up and a membership card should be coming

thanks from Pearce family

We would like to THANK everyone
who attended the funeral for Norm Pearce; (9/3/25-1/1/09)
for the wonderfully prepared brunch/gathering that followed at the shul, and for your kind thoughts and prayers.

We cannot express how sorry we are that many people were not personally contacted, we were not prepared; it all happened so suddenly.

He did not want us to feel sorry for him, saying he was blessed and grateful to have lived a life full of adventure and experiences shared with good friends.
Still, we will all miss Norm immensely.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his memory (call 269-637-4685)
