Chaveireinu HaYikarim,

      I hope you and your family are well as we approach Tekufat Taamuz.  I take this opportunity to thank the Adult Education Committee for their efforts this year in planning and arranging a diversified, stimulating program.  The Shabbat featuring Rabbi Jonathan Saks, Chief Rabbi of England ,and the recent evening presenting Natan Sharansky were "Rinat Moments".  Other shiurim and lectures focused on a wide array of Torah, current events, political updates, and observances of special days of our calendar.  A hearty Yeyasher Kochachem to the entire committee. May you continue to להגדיל תורה ולהאדירה .
