IT'S ALMOST HERE - THE 26TH ANNUAL VS GOLF TOURNAMENT! 

We are thrilled to announce that this year marks the 26th anniversary of the Village Shul Golf Tournament! This milestone is a gift we cannot take for granted, as the tournament has played a crucial role in keeping the Torah lights on and illuminating our community.

 

This year, we would like to honour our incomparable Rabbis and Rebbetzins. Their stellar leadership, selflessness, passion, and compassion have touched every member of our community, guiding us through thick and thin.

 

In recognition of their unwavering dedication, we invite you to participate in this special tribute by donating $360 or more towards a hole sponsorship. Your generous contribution will not only pay tribute to our beloved spiritual leaders but also support the continued growth and vibrancy of our community.
