After Justin and Patricia attended Rosh Hashanah services, Justin paused in the entryway outside the sanctuary to review the congregation’s World War II Roll of Honor. Names included the late Walter Sommers and Herbert Kaufman, the only UHC member to fall in battle.

Reid Zoll began a tradition in recent years by distributing apples and honey to congregants on Rosh Hashanah. Prior to his passing in April, Reid made sure his estate would continue to fund the practice.
