Dear YISE Member,
As the calendar year comes to a close, this is a perfect time to consider the Shul in your end of the year planning. If you haven`t done so already, please consider satisfying your account with the Shul.
Also, please consider adding YISE to your charitable contributions for the end of the year. If you are able, this is a great time to give just a little more to your Shul. Thank you for your consideration and your time and efforts on behalf of your Shul.
Sincerely,
David Mazel, YISE President
