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 />
