On Simchat Torah morning, HAMAKOM honors those who helped lead us to our newly merged community.  It is a special honor to be called up for the aliyah of the final verses of Deuteronomy and the beginning verses of Genesis. 

For the final verses of the Torah we will honor Debbie Strom and Ofer Ho, the last presidents of Temple Aliyah and Shomrei Torah Synagogue. Their leadership in navigating our communities through the exciting change deserves to be honored.

For the beginning verses of Genesis, we will honor Ellen Cervantes and Steve Sevran, the co-chairs of the Joint Steering Committee. The Joint Steering Committee was responsible for articulating the issues that needed to be resolved, working with consultants, and ultimately providing recommendations for the merger. HAMAKOM would not have happened without the work of this committee and the many congregants engaged on the task teams.
