Message from our Co-Chairs

Bernice Polinsky:

I am delighted to join Linda Parker as co-president of Chavurat Emet.

For over 20 years, Chavurat Emet Shabbat and holiday celebrations have been a part my life with ever present warmth and a welcoming environment.

I have so many fond memories from the beautiful and joyous Torah dedication, the fun and delicious dine arounds, our trip to the holocaust exhibit at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, entertaining defensive driving classes and a star billing for the cellists performing a moving Kol Nidre Services on Yom Kippur. This is just a partial list of the many activities created by our creative and dedicated Chavurat Emet board.

 

Linda Parker:

It is my pleasure to begin our 20th year (along with Bernice Polinsky) as co-Chairwomen of Chavurat Emet.

I have been a member of the Chavurat since its inception and have enjoyed experiencing our evolution through these two decades.

The pandemic changed the way we worshipped - ZOOM in lieu of personal services and meetings, but the connection we have to one another became even stronger. Remember the joy of our in-person meet the Rabbi? And being able to elbow bump the folks you're prayed with over the years?!! Our Shabbat Barbecue and service at the Podwall's and just the other night, our beautiful service above the beach in Fort Salonga....Rabbi Marcey has added a new dimension to our chavurah and I can't wait to share the up-coming High Holidays with all of you.
