A Message From Our President

A Message from our President

We are sure that many of you look forward to the President’s message to the congregation during the High Holidays, it gives all of us a window into the life of this community and how we can be a part of it.  Somehow, our wonderful President Stacy Schlosser’s pre-recorded message did not get into any of the services.  But do not despair, we have it for you, click here.  Stacey also wants to give kavod, honor, to all those who have been taking an extraordinary role in the Success of Temple B’nai Or, please click here to view presentation.
