PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON’S LETTER TO THE NEWPORT, RI SYNAGOGUE, AUGUST, 1790

GEORGE WASHINGTON’S LETTER TO THE HEBREW CONGREGATION OF NEWPORT, RI

THANK YOU FROM DEVORAH

I want to thank the congregation for the wonderful gift of acknowledgement and gift card in December. I am honored to lead services for the Jewish community in Great Falls. Being a Jew in Montana comes with the joy of being needed and to me the responsibility of leading and being involved as we are able. Each member matters and makes a difference. I hope to continue leading services for many years to come. May we continue to grow and learn together as a community.

In honor of Go Red for Women, please try to wear red at this week’s services.

Devorah Werner
