May 2025 Chai Lites
Hello Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, the May 2025 Chai Lites issue is here! Thank you everyone for getting that content in so quickly. Lorraine Mixter did a lovely job with our newsletter as Editor these last many years, and consistently got us the news we needed and the updates from our friends. She is passing on the Editor duties to one of our new Board Trustees, Ethan Feldman, and with his talents it is sure to continue to be a pleasure to read.

Dear Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, join us in thanking Ethan Feldman for preparing this significant issue of the Chai Lites, and his first one as our new Editor. He did a great job in organizing and sharing our memories of Rabbi Herzfeld upon his retirement. He also had to make edits upon our receiving the news we never wanted, the unfortunate and sudden passing of our president and friend, Joseph Rodriguez. Please see Joseph’s last column.
