Meet the congresstional candidates
On Sunday morning the our Congressman and his opponent came to speak to our Men's Club. This was open to our entire congregation and guests if they were accompanied by a member of our synagogue. Each candidate took questions from those attending and spoke for over an hour each. Rather than getting sound bites from our politicians, we had the opportunity to ask hard questions and expected to have real answers. To arrange to have both candidates come the same morning at the end of October took many long hours of calls, emails and texts to each candidates election committees. We have made this a commitment by our Men's Club to sponsor and arrange this event.
