Dear Friends,

 I am pleased to tell you much has been happening at LCJC, under the cover of Zoom.  You probably have been unable to see how beautiful the synagogue grounds are looking despite having not many events to appreciate them.  Blooms abound and the grass is brilliant green. The building itself remains in good condition with no visible leaks or major problems.  Mateo our gardener/maintenance man, and Magda, our housekeeper, continue with vigilance and care, readying the shul for our return….which, for the moment, is nowhere in sight.
 
Missing the great pleasure of our potlucks and services, we have, nonetheless, made every effort to be in touch.  The Friday evening Zoom Shabbats and Saturday morning services continue.  Torah study led by Mel Goldberg, always gives us interesting things about which to think.  David Rosett continues leading a Spanish speakers service as well as leading the Saturday morning service in English.  The Board of Directors are regularly reaching out to members by phone to make sure everyone is well. Out of these calls new friendships have formed and, hopefully, we remain connected.
