Thank you from all of us for the exquisite Torah mantles. As you have probably heard, the dedication ceremony on Rosh Hashanah Eve went exceedingly well, but even more gratifying, the reaction to the mantles has been unanimously superlative. We are eternally grateful.

In an age of rugged individualism, it is gratifying to witness a meaningful; group effort. And that is precisely what the Sisterhood tapestry is – almost a hundred people united for an artistic common goal. And what exciting results! A magnificent tapestry on a 6 ft. x 10 ft. canvas, depicting the symbols connected with Judaism and Temple life from the story of Jacob’s dream in Genesis 28. “And he called this place Beth El.” The Special Shabbat Service will be conducted by the leadership of the Sisterhood Needlepoint Committee, and the sermon will be delivered by Bonnie Yales, our designer and coordinator: “The Fabric of Jewish Life.” Our dream has been fulfilled.

The bima cover is absolutely gorgeous. We all felt such a pride at the dedication last month, as we will feel each and every time we are in the sanctuary in the future. You did a beautiful job, and we deeply appreciate all your time, hard work and dedication.

The new white Holyday Torah Mantles, executed by Bonnie Yales of Boston, have filled our Ark with an exquisite glow and have heightened the presence of a Yom Tov Spirit. The needlework has the appearance of lace and filigree and the symbols of each Holyday restate the tasks as they adorn the Torah scrolls.

The tallit was a smashing success and received endless compliments. Thanks again!
