Congregation Micah was founded in 1992, and by the Fall of 1997 it built a new building and opened its new doors to congregants. Part of the celebration at that time was The Letter Project - The Ties that Bind. This project asked congregants, students, Rabbis, and staff to write a letter that would be read 25 years later by their current counterparts. The letters were placed in a box made by artist Rob Ogilvie with porcelain scrolls made by the late artist Sylvia Hyman. This beautiful box became a time capsule of sorts to be opened and added to every 25 years. When opened, first graders would read letters from earlier first graders, congregants from congregants, administrators from administrators, teachers from teachers Rabbis from Rabbis, and so on!  With each opening, the current Micah family would write their own letters that would be added to the box connecting to those of the past and future creating another tie that binds our Micah community together. 

Maybe you were a Micah member 25 years ago and your letter will be read!  Please be part of this new Micah tradition. More details will be coming soon!
