VBS Member Spotlight
We are proud to highlight our members who committheir time and resources to helping VBS thrive.
Ari and Simonne �nd the VBS community warm and welcoming. “We just love all of the people we’ve met. And the rabbis and cantors are always accessible. They even know most people byname, which is amazing in a synagogue the size of VBS. Everything we’ve found here shows that we made the right decision to be a part of this community,” they concluded.
