Dear sisters and brothers,
Our hearts go out to you for the horrible occurrence at your Temple.
We pray for your strength to help you get through this.
We share your pain,

We mourn the loss of your congregants. As an occasional member of a Saturday morning minyan I know the diehard members keep it together, so that when I feel the urge I can attend. These are the stalwart synagogue members, who make sure that people are welcome to pray as needed. I know they will be sorely missed.

Shalom,
May God grant peace and healing of all of those who suffered in the wake of the senseless violence. May it be that even this catastrophe will produce greater love, peace and understanding.

Hello.
My name is Andrew Germain and I am a music teacher for the Stephen S. Wise Temple and School.
I was asked by Rabbi Shlomo Bistritsky of Chabad of North Ranch, CA to play guitar for a few songs at our memorial T'fila Service for all of you who are suffering in a way that only you can understand. I played from my heart with a young Rabbi who had the most beautiful voice. We sang Hine Ma Tovu Manayim, Ma Tovu and Oseh Shalom. While I was very honored to be asked by this...
