We are incredibly grateful for all whose efforts and presence, in the past and now, make what we do possible. Our community members are from a wide variety of backgrounds and come together to build our City.

We particularly want to offer our thanks to those you may not see this year and express appreciation to our observant Jewish community members unable to attend while observing Yom Kippur this year, and also those who choose to attend, and have contributed endless hours to our team. While we all come from different backgrounds and beliefs, it is our hope that working on this experiment together contributes to an effort to heal a small piece of the world one person at a time.

And finally, in the spirit of these hopes, we encourage you to read our Effigy builder’s artist statement for the “Temple of Hope” and his thoughtful contribution to our community during this solemn time. Welcome Home!
