But let us not forget that we have each invested so much of ourselves in our Shul. We must work together as a spirited crew to navigate successfully while avoiding all that threatens to break our ship apart. At that time we had a nursery school and a Hebrew school which, was bulging at the seams. Unfortunately, time and demographics over the past 2 decades have changed the makeup of our temple. With the leadership and guidance of Rabbi Radler and Cantor Fuchs our temple will and has started to prosper in the new secular millennium.
Membership is once again on the increase.
The programs instituted for our Hebrew school have enabled us to increase attendance. The signing of a long term lease with our tenant the Summit School and austerity programs we have initiated, have enabled us to become financially sound again. Many of you will remember that it was not too long ago that people were asking when is Hillcrest Jewish Center closing its doors. Well my friends this is not going to happen. In fact, we are stronger today than we have been in many years.
