Board Stiff

Way back in October we had a community meeting, mostly attended by the over 75 crowd, in which it was decided to elect a new and active board for the community.

So we met again in a very official meeting one freezing Sunday. The synagogue is not really heated, but with the aid of a few electric heaters, if one kept her coat on, she could manage, even if her coat was a thin little Esprit one that could barely handle new York winters, let alone a Vladivostok one.

At this meeting there was an honest and democratic vote. It was so honest that even though I was nominated as a candidate for the board, I was not elected. I didn’t mind though. A really good board was elected, composed of young, active people with lots of energy, some money, and good ideas.

May this board help take things to the next level, until we reach every Jew in Vladivostok!
