Good afternoon everyone. It is with great joy that I write this month's newsletter introducing someone who we

have been looking for over two years to fill the most important role in our synagogue life. I am extremely

proud of the support of the Rabbi search committee, the Board of Directors, and the congregation in

voting unanimously at each level for Rabbi Steven Henkin as our new Rabbi effective sometime this summer.

At the end of this newsletter is a biological sketch of Rabbi Henkin's family.

In addition, our 3 year plan,15 member committee with Fran Kaminsky excellently leading us, has produced

a living, breathing document which really defines who we are now and what we what to be in the next 3

years. This document is on the way to all of our members. Please read it and become a part of it. Find

something in the plan that you want to work for and call Fran, Motti, or me to volunteer.

Lastly our gala is set for Sunday, June 4. The wonderful band The Headliners from Hilton Head Island,

South Carolina, will play music for our dancing. The food will be catered and we all look for a great time. We

will have silent auction items and live auction items. Look for information in the extremely near future about

our gala.

Rabbi Steven Henkin and his wife, Orly, fell in love with the Savannah area when they first visited almost ten

years ago and are thrilled to be coming back. After spending the last three years as Director of

Congregational Learning outside of Washington, D.C., and focusing on Jewish education, he is excited to

bring his love of teaching, relationship-building, and helping people on their Jewish journeys to AA.

A native of New Jersey and south Florida, Orly spent 10 years after college working in the Jewish world,

doing everything from being a synagogue program director to running a Jewish preschool. After spending

time in the mid-Atlantic region and experiencing a blizzard, she is excited to be returning to the warm weather

of the south and bringing her love of Judaism to our new community. Rabbi Henkin and Orly are parents to

Dinah, a sassy, sweet, dolphin-loving eight-year-old, and Noah, a funny, energetic, vehicle-addicted

three-year-old. Rabbi Henkin and his family are excited for this new adventure and can’t wait to join y’all at

the AA!

Remember our doors are always open so please come in. Everyone have a Happy & Healthy Passover.

My best always,

Victor
