"Understanding the history...helps us understand who we are."
A Message From Cantor and Lynda Gutcheon
The question, "Where did you come from," has a corollary: "Where did I come from?" This is not a question about biology, per se, but about the forces in the lives of others that have come forward to shape our lives.
Cantor Gutcheon with his grand- mother, parents, and sisters
Understanding the history of the ancestors in our own families helps us understand who we are. It links us with people we never knew and makes their experiences our own.

Our congregation is embarking on a project called L'dor V'dor, from generation to generation. Our hope is to leave our history for our descendants. We are hoping to collect information about ourselves and our families and store that information in The Temple archives for future generations.
Lynda, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother--four generations!
We hope you will participate in this important project. Let's preserve our history for the sake of our children and their children as well.
