Over 140 congregants and community members were in attendance at the Siegel JCC as Adas Kodesch Shel Emeth presented a culminating event celebrating its 140th anniversary year. The event was organized by Rabbi Abe and Alan Goldberg, with many others contributing their efforts. Senator Lisa Blunt-Rochester and Governor Matt Meyer were present and offered remarks. Howard Berlin reminisced about his multi-generational AKSE family. Rabbi Jeffrey Salkin presented an entertaining, but sobering, keynote speech focusing on the Jewish future. Rabbi Albert Gabbai of the 285-year-old Congregation Mikveh Israel concluded the program with a benediction. There was much delicious food, as well as the uplifting melodies of musicians from the Ezekiel’s Wheels Klezmer Band.
