Introducing...our youngest member!



Dear friends,
It is with great joy that I announce the birth of Eve Blue Sulman, daughter of Chaya and Jon, born last week. Everyone is home now, happy and healthy. We hope you can meet Eve and join in celebrating her birth at our next Shabbat gathering on January 21 at Chaya and Jon's.
As they say in Yiddish, af simkhes! (=only happy occasions!)
Happy pre-new year!
