Communal Milestones

Jewish communities gather to celebrate in times of joy and to comfort each other in times of sorrow. Occasionally, the community itself has a milestone to mark. It might acquire a new Torah scroll, elect new board members, or reach a significant anniversary. All of these events provide opportunities to come together to honor our bonds with each other and acknowledge a whole that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
