The above is the official schedule. In addition some unofficial, optional events are being planned. In fact, you are welcome to plan something of your own. For example, Eva and I are planning to host a Shabbat kiddush (challah, wine, candle lighting) on Friday evening. On Saturday evening, we are planning to host a Shabbat havdallah under the stars. These are both brief and will not interfere with scheduled activities. Anyone is welcome to join us.


Pearl and her planning crew have put together a great reunion program. I'm looking forward to meeting so many of you there.

I am so disappointed that we can't make this reunion. Please let us know when the next will be... and thanks to everyone who is making this happen.

Hi Emily,

The plan is to send much of the material presented at the reunion to everyone by email, or at least put the material on the web and send a link to everybody. I know there is a big genealogy chart, at the least.

In addition, I plan to keep this blog up and running after the reunion to post the most interesting stuff. Also, people will be encouraged to add their own thoughts and opinions in the comment section. Maybe we can get some discussions going.

So, I'm sorry you won't be there but stay tuned to the blog.
