RABBI REICH'S MESSAGE
 
Message from Rabbi and Rebbitzen Reich
 
As we return the Torah to the Ark, we are reminded of the words of
King Solomon:  עץ חיים היא למחזיקים בה   The Torah is like a Tree of Life.
For 36 years, Adat has been the source of that life, providing a
life of Torah to La Jolla. We are humbled to be part
of this incredible community and Torah center.
 
But as Shlomo HaMelech  writes, it isn't enough that the Torah is a source
of life. We need to hold onto it, attach ourselves to it, and support it. This
year's Gala celebrates our collective efforts to support our Torah center
in La Jolla, especially those who have done so for more than 18 years.

RABBI REICH'S MESSAGE
Rabbi and Rebbitzen Reich's message continued
 
We have had an amazing year of continued and new programming and classes, full seats at Minyanim and Shabbos and Yom Tov services, and reaching many new members. We strive to extend the branches of our Etz Chaim to every Jew in La Jolla and San Diego, giving "Etz Chaim" to all.
 
As we celebrate this milestone of 36 years, we continue the legacy from Har Sinai of providing an Etz Chaim for all. When we stood at Har Sinai, almost 3,300 years ago, we stood as one, recognizing that each one of us matters. For the Jewish people to thrive, we need full participation and engagement by each member of our single unit. It is integral that each member of Klal Yisroel has access and entry to the Torah.

Rabbi and Rebbitzen Reich's message continued
 
Shlomo Hamelech writes that the result of  עץ חיים היא למחזיקים בה,
through the Support of the magnificent Torah in La Jolla,
ותומכיה מאושר - its supporters rejoice.
 
We should be blessed that with all of us coming together
to support our "Etz Chaim," we will achieve the greatest joy of all -
the joy of an Etz Chaim for us and for future generations.
 
 
Mazel tov!

Rabbi Daniel and Brooke Reich
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
A Message from Brian and Suzanne Marcus
 
Today we celebrate those members of 18 years or more,
who comprise the bedrock of this community.

The theme for this DOUBLE CHAI (36-year anniversary) Gala is "Etz Chaim" (Tree of Life), a powerful metaphor for the Torah. Just as a tree grows from a tiny seed, so too does our understanding and relationship with the Divine. The tree's roots ground us in our traditions, while its branches reach toward the heavens, symbolizing our aspirations and potential for growth.
 
Our members who have been with us for 18 years ago or more are our roots. We are sustained today for a brighter future by those loyal individuals, who have shown what it means to volunteer, to open their homes and hearts to all.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

We express our deep gratitude to three essential groups that are the lifeblood of the shul:
 
First, our essential staff, especially Rabbi Reich and Rebbitzen Brooke, who have made an impact on so many lives, but also the Sapirs and the Ertels as well as the people who keep everything running, Annette Olson, Catharine Simolari and Milton Garcia.
 
Second, the extraordinary women of our community. Through their tireless volunteer work, they have embodied the essence of "chesed" - loving-kindness. They have devoted countless hours to ensure that our community functions smoothly and remains a welcoming place.
 
Third, the men who form the backbone of our daily minyan. It is comforting to know that Adat is a shul where there is always a minyan, regardless of weather or season.
 
We invite every member of our community to support this fundraiser. Every act of generosity counts. May we continue to uplift one another, as we have done for generations.
 
Brian and Suzanne Marcus
 
 
Etz Chaim
Mazal Tov to Rabbi & Rebbetzin Reich and to Brian & Suzanne Marcus on leading this wonderful congregation to its double chai celebration. We are so grateful and thankful for all you do for our community. Thank you to the dream team that keep the shul running, Annette, Catharine and Milton and Maria. G-d willing Adat Yeshurun should continue to grow and prosper to celebrate many more multiples of chai.

recognition of all of those who plan to take
up the mantle so that our Jewish community can

In Memory of Sadie Weiner z"l ( August 1926-May

Commitment Loyalty, Resilience and Endurance.

Brian and Suzanne Marcus
L'Chaim
 
As we celebrate this milestone, we honor the long-time members for your commitment to our shul. Each one of you has enriched our shul in countless ways. You have shared your wisdom, talents and friendship.
Your legacy will continue to inspire future generations. For our family, our shul has played a major role. We have celebrated simchas, mourned losses and grown together as a community. It wasn't just the candy man that made our shul experience sweet, it was the love and warmth we felt every time we walked through the doors, the sense of belonging and the friendships we forged. Over the years we have watched our shul grow and evolve, new families join, new programs and initiatives take shape and new leaders emerge, and we are proud to be part of the journey. May we continue to thrive and grow for many years to come.
 
Charles Jaffe and Janith Seidel
L'Chaim
Adat is our home away from home. We feel privileged to be a part of the shul and
community, and wish everyone a
long life in good health and Torah.
 
The all-inclusive Chesed of Adat enhanced the
life of our son, Michael Rabin z"l, during his
12 years before his passing on May 14, 2022.
 
We are especially grateful to the kindness and
teaching he received from Rabbi Wohlgelernter and Shoshie, and Rabbi Reich and Brooke.
 
We remember Michael for his first yahrzeit with these words,
"He welcomed everyone with a generous heart and a warm smile."
 
                     Yaakov and Devorah Shore

We feel gratitude for the Rabbis, religious leaders
and families who built a strong foundation
from which we thrive into the future.
 
We are happy to call Adat our second home for the
past few years and look forward to sharing 
many more joyous and religious occasions at Adat.

With eternal gratitude to Rabbi Jeff & Shoshie for all you have done for our spiritual growth since 1996 and to Rabbi Reich and Brooke for continuing their legacy to inspire future generations. Rabbi Jeff married Aniko and I and prepared our daughter, Eliana, for her Bat Mitzvah. Rabbi Reich continued with our family and prepared our son, Daniel, for his Bar Mitzvah. We have celebrated simchas, mourned losses and grown together as a community. We have witnessed our shul grow and evolve, new families join, new programs and initiatives take shape and new leaders emerge, and we are proud to be part of the journey.
