Pins and Needles is reaching out to let you know that we are always very happy to welcome new members to our group. This month, we will meet on Tuesday, January 6, in the shul library from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. and on Zoom on the third Tuesday of the month (December 20th). We knit, crochet, and socialize. We would love to have other crafters join us to showcase their work and share tips and stories. We would also like to inform you that we are currently in need of yarn donations. Especially helpful are donations of blanket-weight yarn and multiple balls of the same weight or colour. If you’re doing some spring cleaning and have yarn you’re no longer using, we’d be grateful if you’d consider donating it to us. Please contact nancy@kosiner.com if you have any questions.

On this International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we gather as people of faith and goodwill to remember the six million Jews who were murdered in the Shoah, along with the countless others whose lives were destroyed by hatred and indifference. Together, we honour the survivors who have carried memory through courage and testimony, and we reaffirm our shared responsibility to stand against antisemitism, racism, and all forms of intolerance. Through music, scripture, testimony, and prayer, this service invites us to remember the past with reverence, to cherish the resilience of the human spirit, and to renew our commitment to building a world rooted in justice, compassion, and peace. Even in the shadow of great loss, the light of memory remains — calling us to lives of empathy, vigilance, and hope. This event will be recorded. Register Here
