Many thanks to Rabbi Mendelson and the Office Staff Lana Shimunova, Eleanor Kaplan, and Violetta Kurayeva who when asked to help, responded with a “no problem”. We hope to see you all in the fall and continue to bring you enjoyable and informative programs. Meanwhile we wish everyone a healthy and happy summer.
