Dear Members: As my first official communication of this New Year – 5728 – I am very happy to inform you that the Board of Trustees, at its last meeting, unanimously and enthusiastically appointed Dr. Leo Jung, as Senior Rabbi, and Dr. Norman Lamm, as Rabbi of The Jewish Center, by which respective titles they shall hereafter be designated. Both Rabbi Jung and Rabbi Lamm, whose scope and nature of Center activity remain unchanged as heretofore, look forward to many years of fruitful cooperation in the cause of Judaism, and in the service of our beloved institution and its family of families. The officers, trustees and members of the Center feel justly proud and highly honored in having two such distinguished Rabbis as their spiritual leaders and fervently wish for them many years of undisturbed health, harmony and happiness in their future activities.Wishing you well over the fast, and for you and your family a very happy, healthful and peaceful New Year,Max Stern President
