Welcoming Cantorial Intern Ted Prosnitz and Cantor William Walton
We are happy to announce that cantorial student Ted Prosnitz will be leading services on a volunteer basis during this summer and upcoming year.

This is an opportunity for us as a congregation to help a soon-to-be Cantor have a learning experience that will help him in his future career. Ted is going to be starting his senior year at the H.L Miller Cantorial School of the Jewish Theological Seminary in Manhattan.

Ted lives in Wyckoff with his family.

---------------------------------------------

Our High Holiday and part-time Cantor William Walton will be visiting with us at the Summer BBQ on August 14 and will lead our Selichot High Holiday services, teach the Hay class and work on many other projects during the 2009-2010 year.

Cantor Walton was selected following a thorough search process in which five candidates auditioned for the position.

Dear GRJC family,

It is my goal to be of service to all congregants and members of our GRJC family at large.

In order to better serve you, I would ask for your help and support:

When there is a family member who is in the hospital, ill at home, or elsewhere, and would appreciate a visit from me, please let me know. We can also add the individual's name to the healing prayers we recite on Shabbat and holidays. If you have a parent or relative in independent or assisted living or in a nursing home, please let me know so that I can make a visit.
When there is, God forbid, a death, please contact me first before being in touch with the funeral parlor so that we can work together to create a meaningful memorial service and shivah observance for your loved one.

Thank you!
-Rabbi Tow
