Two Tikvat Israel members who have contributed for decades to the religious and cultural life of the synagogue have been selected as the 5777 Chattan Torah and Kallat Bereshit with public recognition on Simchat Torah. The husband-wife pair of Jim and Maxine Perlmutter, volunteers in major aspects of synagogue life, will be honored with special aliyot during the Torah service on Simchat Torah morning on Tuesday, Oct 25.
Following the service, a luncheon in their honor will be held in the TI social hall. (Contact the synagogue office to RSVP for the luncheon and to make a donation in honor of Jim and Maxine.)
Literally the “groom of the Torah” and “the bride of the beginning”, the Chattan Torah and Kallat Bereshit honors are accorded each year to two deserving Tikvat Israel congregants or staff members who have made significant contributions to the synagogue’s spiritual, educational and/or cultural life.
