Thank You! To the entire St. John’s community, Shai and I, both want to offer our most profound thanks. Our wedding was so special and it never would have been possible without all of the love, support, and hard work we received from so many. Everything was beautiful and your generosity was astounding. The congregation’s extremely generous financial gift was absolutely amazing—unexpected but so appreciated. Above everything, we are so grateful to be part of this wonderful community of people who are truly family to us. Thank you, thank you, a thousand times, thank you. In Gratitude, Blake & Shai
