Last night, FHC held a congregational meeting that was well attended. In addition, the discussion and the atmosphere of the participants was (at least until I left at approx 9:45pm), respectful and polite.
The slate of candidates for the Executive Committee and the Board of Trustees was selected and the election should run smoothly.
The congregation discussed proposed changes to the Bylaws as well as related issues. The discussion will continue on other important issues on May 31, 2005. It is important that you attend these meetings and vote in June.
I applaud the Exec. Committee members who conducted the May 23, 2005 meeting. The meeting gave me a real sense of hope that FHC and its incoming leadership and the Board of Trustees will direct its energies to attacking and solving real issues, to better our Jewish Community, so as not to get bogged down in trivial issues that sap us of our energies.
Sometimes democracy, even Jewish Democracy, while not a neat and tidy method of governance, works! Shalom. Jeremy Krantz
