“Volunteers are the only human beings on the face of the earth who reflect this nation's compassion, unselfish caring, patience, and just plain loving one another.”  (Erma Bombeck)

Our tradition requires 10 adults be present to say certain prayers, including Kaddish for a deceased relative.  We count men, women and all post Bar/Bat Mitzvah teens in our minyan.   Please consider making the committment to come to just one regular minyan per week to help reach that magical number 10.  If you live close by and are willing to come to shul on notice when we are in need, please contact Judy Bookman, who will put you on our minyan call list.
