Dear Friends,
The year 2011 has been one of life-changing transitions for my family and me. It also was a year of excitement, joy and growth. With the help and support of all of you that make up our congregational family, we were able to birth Temple Israel.
I am pleased to share with you that, as the year ends, we have reached our initial goal of 100 member households! There still are many hopes, dreams and aspirations to be reached, but this is a terrific start!
My family and I feel blessed every day by your care, support and commitment to create our congregation and help us to stay in Kansas City. Thank you all for your faith in me and in Temple Israel as we enter a new calendar year.
My wish for 2012 is that we all be blessed with strength, life, health and peace!
Most sincerely,
Rabbi Jacques Cukierkorn
