Families gathered at Browns Island on Sept. 12 for a “Meet the Teachers at Tashlikh” morning. What a wonderful way to begin the year!

Welcome BACK!

Hinei Ma’Tov U’ma naim, Shevet Achim Gam Yachad!

How good and pleasant it is when brothers and sisters sit together!

Students taking part in Tashlikh at Brown’s Island.

The High Holiday month was filled with sweetness as we gathered in-person during September’s Family and School events. We had much to be thankful for this season.

We worshiped together for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, we gathered at Browns Island for Tashlikh and for families and teachers to meet and mingle, we performed the Mitzvot of dining together in the Sukkah, and waving the Lulav and Etrog.

We gathered under blue skies with big smiles, and in appreciation of being able to be together.  We are especially thankful to Richmond First Baptist Church for offering their beautiful courtyard in which to hold our Family Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur services.
