The Santa Monica Synagogue

Tremendous gratitude to Bernie and Devera for hosting the lovely Selichot service last night in their beautiful yard. It was a moving and well-attended gathering enjoyed by one and all. This begins the High Holy Days, also known as the Days of Awe.

The Santa Monica Synagogue puts on a Selichot service at Bernie & Devera's home. The music of the Cello was so nice to hear. A great turnout, lots & lots of desserts, schmoozing and a good time was had by all. So nice to see everyone. Next week starts off the New Year. Hope to see you all there.

A fabulous cocktail & appetizers party for those who won the silent auction from The Santa Monica Synagogue. Hosted by Linda, Michael & Jennifer. Although it was still hot in Westwood, we were all shaded. Cocktails were fantastic, food & dessert yummy so who needs dinner? We were so full! It was a relaxing, casual day with Temple friends. Great conversations and an event we all love to attend. Thank you to all our hosts.❤️

Thank you JoAnn Pace for hosting a fun tie dye party today. Everyone had a great time. Everything everyone made all came out beautifully. It was a great Silent Auction item at our recent fundraiser.
