In honor of our 40-year history, we have celebrated with a series of programs throughout the year. We kicked off the year with an opening reception, featuring speeches and videotaped interviews of founding members as well as a delicious spread of hors d’oeuvres. In April, we hosted Gathering Time, an acoustic musical group featuring Jewish musical greats of the rock’n’roll era. The next big event is our “Celebrating Ourselves” Shabbaton, scheduled for November 3. We’ll cap off the celebration with a gala event on December 8. Also, over the course of the year, we’ve been creating special opportunities for service and keeping track of our collective mitzvot, to make sure that we perform at least “40 Mitzvot for 40 Years.”
