We received many compliments for meaningfully using the Jerusalem motif in the Frankel’s 2 Sanctuary and The Cohn Family Welcome Center. After reviewing many options for The Donor Recognition Wall, it became obvious that nothing will be more appropriate (and beautiful) than 5 keeping our 3,000 year-old motif.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the donors and invite you to come and find your name on the Wall.

I also want to remind you that we designed the Recognition Wall with additional room for future 1 donors at all levels. See Debbie Baseman or me for dedication opportunities. 4

A big Thank You to Dr. Heidi Cherwony for her very informative workshop on The Kindergarten Dilemma at the Temple Beth Am Mishpacha/Family Center. Dr. Cherwony stressed that as parents we can often be overwhelmed by all the schooling choices in our area. She focused on the importance of looking at “the WHOLE child” and the options for schools that would provide the best environment for YOUR particular child. Most importantly, remember that children need to be children. Read to them and allow them to use their imaginations and be creative in their own way! www.mindandbodydoctor.com
