One of our most precious values is a
memory. As members of the Jewish
community, one of our most precious
possessions is our synagogue.

Our synagogue is not just the house of
God and edifice for prayer; to many of us
the synagogue is the focal point of our
social lives and serves as a center for the
pursuit of Torah and religious knowledge.
We, the people who have been elected or
appointed to govern the shul, felt that a
formal collection of a year of memories
of the shul is long overdue.

We feel that a book of memories is not
just for us now, but for those who will
come after us.

So here it is, the first annual yearbook of
the Congregation Brothers of Israel!
