Election Day

The election proved to be another testament to the unity of our community.  Over 800 community members participated in the genetic testing conducted by Dr. Gideon Akler which aims to unlock our community’s genetic code.   Our bar and bat mitzvah kids raised $9,000 for their Israel chesed project on this day, and the friends of Israel Bonds sold $5,000 in olive oils and other Israeli products to benefit Israel charities.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the amazing candidates for the various boards and wish them well.   We also would like to thank our wonderful community members who showed their support for our democratic system of elections for our boards.  The Supervisory Council would also like to thank those members who spent many hours assisting with the process of tallying the counts.
