Permit me to broad-

from my paper-and-
ink soapbox: We are
lucky to be part of a
Jewish community
that remains so ener-
getic, so able, so close-
knit (and that's not
necessarily a bad
thing).
As a member of the
20-something crowd,

dearth of events to re-

For a journalist, it is, perhaps,
an undeserved gift to cover a com-
munity so inspiring. Thanks
again.
