Cantor's Notes (April, 2010):
NOTES FROM THE CANTOR: TRIBUTE THANK YOU
Sunday night, February 14th was one of the
most amazing evenings of my life. It was
right out of a fairytale!
My dad, Seneca, brothers, Spencer
and Russ, sister-in-law, Anat, niece, Lara
and nephew, Jared were all there. My aunt
and uncle, Art and Carole Glass, and my
cousins, Scott and Irene Glass were there
as well. Even my second cousin, Evan
came from L.A. But the most incredible
thing of all was the phone call I got on
Sunday afternoon from my son Zachary,
who is a first-year college student in
Philadelphia. He called to chat and in the
middle of the call, my doorbell rang. There
was Zachary, cell phone in hand! My Dad
flew him in as a surprise. Of course, I just
stood there and cried. So Sunday night, I
was surrounded by family and friends.
It was a truly wonderful night. From
the delicious dinner, to the tribute speeches,
to the fantastic performance by Encore!. I
have never enjoyed myself more.
I would like to take this opportunity to
thank everyone who participated, particularly
the committee, which spent long
hours working out all the details.
Thanks to those of you who donated
items to the silent auction, and to those of
you who bid on those items. I am told that
the Tribute evening made twice the amount
it had been expected to make!
Finally, thanks to all of you who made
contributions in my honor to my discretionary
fund. The money in that fund
helps pay for special music programs,
equipment, and non-budgeted items that
help our congregation to thrive. I have truly
found a home here at Or Chadash. Now for
another 10 years of making beautiful music
together!
Musically Yours,
Cantor Janece Cohen
