The recent health/economic crisis due to covid-19 is a real concern for our community. To ensure the safety and health of our members, we have temporarily closed the building for public access. Our office is open for members by appointments only. Please call if you have questions or wish schedule an appointment. However, to maintain community, we have made live/virtual events available to help you stay connected. Please view the schedule below and on the live stream page for details. We look forward to seeing you virtually online. Shalom shalom.
