My dear friends,
dear congregants,
guests and visitors,
Chayim and I send you heartfelt greetings for a blessed Shanah Tovah u’Metukah, a year of goodness and sweet experiences!
How deeply embedded in our hearts are the many fine memories of the services we observed together, the simches we celebrated, the joys and sorrows we shared, the hospitality you provided us, the personal stories you entrusted to us and the hopes and dreams we prayed would be realised in the past year!
Bet David enshrines kedushah, something very holy, in the way everyone is welcomed, and is embraced. The feeling of kehilah (community) permeates every gathering. The values of Torah are found in the many ways you and your families live as Jews and contribute to our shared aim to repair the world (Tikkun Olam).
May 5780 bring more of those simches and less sorrow, more beauty and more fullfilled dreams.
May you go from strength to strength with blessing!
L‘shanah tovah tikatevu—
For a good New Year
Rabbi Adrian and Chayim Schell
