Last night the congregation met and voted to authorize funds to be expended for architectural services that will, if implemented, greatly enhance FHC .
I applaud the membership, and our leaders for moving forward on this initiative so that FHC can be proud of its physical plant (our house of worship) and can honor the memory of people like Ben Hirsch who, almost 50 years ago, had the vision and the tenacity to secure the land and build FHC.
We should never lose hope for an optimistic future. We depend upon our leadership to evaluate current conditions and plan for the future. Our Leaders must balance the needs and desires of a multifaceted congregation. I look forward to the coming months when we will need optimistic leadership to guide the congregation into our future.
I also hope that we step up as congregants and suppport positive planning to improve FHC both physically and spiritually.
Shalom, Jeremy

The Blog is alive and well.
We were away and I was unable to hit the blog with content. Here is some relevant information to get us going again.
Save the following dates:
12/3/05 for the Bikkur Holim Shabbat Service
12/25/05 for the Chanukah party at FHC (For Jews, that date should not be that busy)
2/5/06 THE SUPER BOWL PARTY at FHC
I will discuss these events in greater detail. But, come to FHC for these events and you will have a joyous time.
And on another note, buy SCRIP-GIFT cards from FHC before December 1, 2005 because FHC makes money on their sale and it costs you nothing. The program is so simple. Buy the cards for a cash value. Make the check payable to FHC. The cards have the full value you paid for them, but the company pays FHC a percentage and that money goes to the fundraising efforts of FHC. I purchased a bunch and I calculated that FHC will make about $109. on the cards I purchased. As Adam Sandler is quoted as saying "NOT TOO SHABBY". I will also buy more next year when we do it again. If you have any questions you can contact me, or one of the coordinators of the program.
Shalom, Jeremy

Bat Mitzvah thanks
On behalf of our family we would like to express our warm and sincere gratitude to the Rabbi for all his help concerning our daughter Emily and specifically in regards to her Bat Mitzvah.
The Rabbi has been there for our family whenever we have needed his spiritual, moral and emotional guidance. He has found time to meet with us even when the time and location was not opportune. He has shown extraordinary patience and guidance when it has been needed most.
On November 5, 2005 the Rabbi was wonderful and helpful. He coordinated the service, including the involvement of my family and my father, a reform Rabbi. Moreover, he enlivened the Friday night and Saturday morning services with interactive singing including a Noah's ark song which was enjoyed by all. We received numerous compliments from family and friends about how wonderful and warm the service was because of the Rabbi. It was great hearing the compliments from people who live all across our nation.
I would also be remiss if we did not thank Emily's instructors, and the Hebrew School for their terrific preparation of Emily for her Bat Mitzvah. Emily appeared so comfortable on the Bima. It is not surprising since many months ago I asked Emily if she was nervous about her upcoming Bat Mitzvah and her response was, "No, it's only Hebrew!" That alone says alot about the First Hebrew educational experience.
Shalom,
Robin & Jeremy
