As I write this article for the summer issue of Tidings, it is hard to believe the secular year is almost half over and the High Holiday Season will be upon us in a short two months.  Time has a way of getting away from us and that is why we should always make each day a blessing.

​

    In July, Temple Beth Emet, will begin the new fiscal year.  Keeping this in mind, the
Re-registration forms for 2026-2027/5787 will be mailed out shortly.  Truly, we need everyone’s support for TBE to maintain Shabbat and holiday services, provide pastoral care, and be a place to gather together; be it in person, online or Zoom.  Your contributions and participation at any level is appreciated and makes a difference.  Please accept my personal gratitude for your support and generosity.   In this issue of Tidings, you will find lots of information pertaining to the High Holidays.  Please take a moment to fill out all the necessary material and send it back to the Temple as soon as possible.

​

     Please mark your calendars for a few upcoming activities in July.  On Sunday, July 19th, at 2:00 pm we will be having a re-dedication of the Sephardic Torah to honor the memories of Len and Dorothy Wiener.  This is a very auspicious occasion so please come and help us honor Dorothy and Len.  Refreshments will be served.

​

     Thursday, July 23rd, we observe Tisha B’Av.

 

     On Friday, July 31st, we will have a Shabbat Dinner following services.  Our guests that evening will be the teen recipients of the Jewish Federation’s Passport to Jewish Life Program partially sponsored by TBE.  Please come and support these extraordinary young people.

​

     I wish everyone a healthy and peaceful summer and look forward to seeing all of you at   services and events.
