To those of you who frequent this website, you may have been surprised at the number of changes made recently to this site. Within the past few days and weeks, we have made quite a few changes to our website. For those keeping score, here's a recap: - The weekly parsha column has been updated on a regular basis. Our goal is to have information about the upcoming parsha available by Monday evening.
- A photo gallery has been added. Members had been requesting a means to see photos in a more controlled manner, rather than see only one randomly chosen photo each time a page was loaded. In addition, some members who had pictures of their own were looking for a way to contribute to the website without the hassle of emailing the pictures to me.
- The random photo item in the top-right corner of the home page has been removed. Now that we have a photo gallery which already displays a random picture from within the gallery, the "Random Photo" was no longer necessary.
- A new poll has been started. We've had the same poll on our website since the major redesign in September 2009, so now, I'd like your opinion about our photo gallery. Please, don't be shy. And while on the subject of polls, the actual poll has been moved from the bottom of the right-hand column to the top of the column, where it should be more visible to our visitors.
- In addition to the photo gallery, we've added the capability of displaying rudimentary web forms on our website. Currently, there are two forms in use, both related to the upcoming Pesach holiday. Shortly, you can expect to see more forms becoming available. All this is intended to make this website more interactive and responsive to the needs of our community.
- The announcement of the birth of a daughter to Larry and Dana Horwitz will be followed shortly with additional information, including the baby's name and hopefully a picture. Look for a special section of our website dedicated to local announcement in the days and weeks to come.
I hope you enjoy all the changes being made for your benefit. And for those who haven't really taken time to look around, there are some fascinating stories and articles in the archives of this website. Use the "search" area at the top right of each page of our website to find those hidden gems! |

I got a call earlier today from the proud grandmother, announcing that Dana Horwitz gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on Sunday morning. I can't wait to see the happy family in person. According to the rabbi, Dana should be coming home today. |

Purim celebrations this year included readings of the Megillah at our shul on Saturday night and Sunday morning, as well as a community Purim party with a Hawaiian theme held at the Jewish Community Centre. If I receive photographs or videos of the events held at the JCC, I will post them here. Failing that, here's a few pictures from the celebration at the shul. The first picture shows the Rabbi, with children gathered nearby, as he delivers the introduction to the Megillah reading: |  | The next picture shows the Rabbi and one of our shul members reading from the Megillah: |  | Following the reading of the Megillah, members and guests of the shul proceeded to the social hall, where a selection of Purim foods awaited: |  | (photos courtesy of Milton and Isabella Dzodin) |
