Richard Mark and Maura Harway

We moved to the west side in 1986, the year before

our older daughter's bat mitzvah. One week after

the bat mitzvah, we set out on what we thought

would be a series of shul-shopping visits.

Our first stop was Minyan M'at and we went no further:

we felt at home immediately. Over the years,

we have come to feel that the larger

Ansche Chesed community provides us

all with support and comfort.

We are deeply grateful for the community we share.
