New Sanctuary Adornment
You’ve no doubt noticed the wonderful new wall
hangings in the sanctuary. These are the handiwork
of Judy Kaplan, made in loving memory of her
parents, Harry and Sylvia Kaplan. They were
dedicated at the Family Service on February 4 th . The
quilts – which depict holidays and other sacred
observances throughout the year – were designed to
be hung in panels or as stand-alone. This feature will
enable us to decorate additional spaces in the
Temple, our future social hall or new religious
school. The quilting was done by Judy with the help
of Jean Karpen, Pam Gretz, Jackie Itzkovitz and
Debbie Cooper. As always, Edward Wiley made
himself available to do the hanging.
Thank you, Judy, Edward, and our quilters for these
colorful, warm and welcoming additions to our
sanctuary! They will be admired and enjoyed for
many years to come.

I wanted to extend a note of thanks to everyone for
their support during this time with my sister.
Thanks for the prayers, participation in the bone
marrow drive, food that is in my freezer, and
concern. Of the 8 million in the worldwide
database, a 25-year old male is a perfect match for
my sister. As of today, he has agreed to move
forward with the process, and the transplant is
scheduled for the end of April. She is doing well
and is ready for the tough road ahead. Thanks
again, and I will keep you posted with the progress.
