Our Congregation Mourns the Loss of a great man and leader

As this season of Hanukkah ends and we extinguish our miraculous lights of freedom, the world mourns the loss of another shining light. We mourn the passing of a great man and leader, Nelson Mandela.

A message from the president of Congregation Ner Tamid:

As this season of Hanukkah ends and we extinguish our miraculous lights of freedom, the world mourns the loss of another shining light. We mourn the passing of a great man and leader, Nelson Mandela. 

He leaves behind a legacy as a man who worked tirelessly to bring democracy, freedom and racial equality to South Africa. 

Mandela brought together several powerful world leaders to address global issues. The group's work impacted Asia, the Middle East and Africa in several areas, including women's issues, humanitarian issues and the promotion of democracy. 

Let us kindle our inner lights and strive to be beacons for others. 

Let us lead by example as Nelson Mandela did and be a true inspiration to others. Let's go out and make our world a better place for everyone! 

Shabbat Shalom, 

Kristine Goldstein 

President
