Dear Friends,
A very happy and healthy 2012 to all of you and yours on this, the 13th anniversary of Y2K! In case you may not remember what Y2K was, it was the prediction that on the arrival of the new Millennium, the 21st century, and the entire world’s computers would become scrambled and fail.
They didn’t fail, civilization continued and our world is none the worse for the wear. We have placed the disaster that never occurred behind us, continued living our lives, making our plans while watching our children grow and mature.
Speaking of “watching our children grow,” Shoshi and I are very happy and proud to announce the engagement of our youngest daughter, Aliza, to Seth Finck, an attorney, also living in Atlanta.
As with Ilana and Todd, so too with Aliza and Seth, a pre-ketubah document called “Tenaim,” prepared months in advance of the wedding ceremony, stating the values, hopes and dreams of the engaged couple, will be dutifully signed by the couple and witnessed by friends.
Traditionally, a plate is broken by the mothers of the bride and groom, following the document’s signing or just before the wedding ceremony, symbolizing the change of status in their children’s lives. You, our beloved congregation, are cordially invited to share in our simcha and witness the reading of their Tenaim Document at the January 20, Erev Shabbat services, and to enjoy a special Oneg in our children’s honor.
May God grant us, our temple, country, Israel and our world blessings and simchas in this New Year.
Faithfully,
Rabbi Norman S. Lipson, DD
