As a means of introducing members of our Congregation to each other, we provide a section of the Mishpachtenu, entitled Humans of Beth Shalom (inspired by the famous Humans of New York, or HONY, series). We ask the responders to identify themselves and then to respond to a subset of pre-selected questions. To increase exposure and readership, we have decided to place the articles/interviews on our website. Happy reading!
