*** We’ve had some challenges with personnel in the office this year. Unfortunately, we were not able to get a letter out in time to ask for the names of those who left us this past year. As a result, the new booklets were printed with only the same names as last year. So your loved ones who passed away in 5782 are not included in the booklets. To remedy this, please submit those names to me by next Thursday, September 29, 2022 so we can put a separate page into the booklets including them.

**** The Golden Dreidel in Tustin will take our orders for Lulav & Estrog sets. We need to have our orders in by Monday, October 3, by 3:00pm PT.
