From the Rabbi's Desk, May 2011

Dear Friends of Hillcrest Jewish Center,

On April 12, the Board of Trustees of Hillcrest Jewish Center unanimously approved our mission and vision statements of Hillcrest Jewish Center. The mission and vision statements are the product of the hard work of a few individuals and of the input of many others. Although not every single suggestion was incorporated into the final version, many of them were indeed incorporated and all of them were considered.

Those of us who worked on the project believe that mission and vision statements are works in progress. We also believe that they will help us tell our story better: Who are we? What do we stand for? What are our priorities? Where are we concentrating our efforts?

In the months to come I hope to create an opportunity to explore, together with you, how what we do at Hillcrest Jewish Center reflects our mission and vision statements.

May Hashem bless the work of our hands!

From my heart,

Rabbi Manes Kogan
