Melissa Immel & Mark Wolkow<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
It's hard to believe that we haven't been "panim el panim" face-to-face for<br />
nearly two years, except primarily through a computer screen. It was<br />
refreshing to finally see so many friends in person during the Second<br />
Night Seder, catered by our very own Chef Extraordinaire, Robin Way.<br />
It's also exciting to see Mike Mullis and the Choir share the bima with<br />
Rabbi again. Please stay tuned for more details regarding a special event<br />
planned to say farewell to Rabbi John Franken, who has helped lead us<br />
through this pandemic. Together, we will send him off with smiles,<br />
gratitude, and well wishes for the next chapter of his journey.<br />
Meanwhile, I am looking forward to my next chapter as RPC Chair. I am<br />
exceedingly grateful for Mark Wolkow's leadership, as he served as<br />
Chair or Co-Chair of the RPC for nearly eighteen years. I also want to<br />
thank him for his friendship and mentorship, as I served with him as Cochair<br />
for the past six years. I wish Mark all the best in his new role as our<br />
Temple President. I can't think of anyone more qualified to lead us into<br />
the future.<br />
Please be sure to visit our calendar for the latest events.<br />
Hope to see you soon!<br />
Melissa Immel<br />
(Soon-to-be) RPC Chair<br />
