United Hebrew Congregation celebrated a busy and rewarding weekend with Student Rabbi Aaron Rozovsky’s farewell Shabbat service Friday evening and Sarah Harris’s Bat Mitzvah on Saturday morning.
“You’ve shown [Jewish life] can grow and thrive anywhere,” Rabbi Aaron told the congregation.

In our corpus we have texts such as Tanakh, Midrash, Talmud and Shulchan Aruch. Incredible minds like Rashi, Rarnbarn, Ibn Ezra and Nachmanides, beautiful and intricate languages such as Hebrew, Ladino and Yiddish, titanic moments like revelation at Sinai, the reigns of David and Solomon and the return from the exile.
However, despite this, I could not find a witty quote or a piece of insight from our sages that can properly convey my thoughts.
As I write this column, the Congregation has just finished an important rite of spring, the congregational annual meeting. Congratulations to all the board and I hope that UHC members will feel free to contact any of us with your ideas and concerns.
Sadly, we also say goodbye to our student rabbi, Aaron Rozovsky. We wish him well as he finishes up his fifth year of studies.
United Hebrew Congregation held its annual meeting on Sunday, May 21, 2017. There, the congregation elected a board of trustees and officers of board.
Officers include President Betsy Frank, VP/Secretary Terry Fear and Treasurer Bruce Black. Six board members will serve as well.
