We are so grateful to the following people who helped put this joyful celebration together in record time, and put up with our occasional hesitancy and indecisiveness:
- Rabbi Mark Israel – who guided us confidently through the preparations and helped us remember most of what we needed to remember
- Cantor Rochelle Helzner – who added spark and energy with music and dancing
- Aaron Chusid and the Tikvat Israel staff – for setting up the social hall
- Roz Kram and Larry Gorban – who created the scrumptious kiddush luncheon we enjoyed on Saturday, February 24, following the Auf Ruf
- Sarah Person who brought the cherry blossoms to decorate the tables and the chuppah poles, and helped in so many other ways throughout the weekend
- Leesa Shem-Tov and Debbie Amster, along with our havurah – who provided food to share for our shabbat dinner on Friday night
- Betsey Cogswell and Bonnie Guralnick – who provided valuable technical advice on constructing the chuppah! And last minute construction and attachment of the communal contributions!
