“HOW GOOD AND HOW PLEASANT IT IS FOR ALL OF US TO BE TOGETHER”

 

Shalom to everyone. I hope all of you enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing summer.

Now we will begin a very busy time for Temple Beth Emet.

 

First and foremost, PLEASE make sure OCTOBER 18, 2026 is on your calendar for our 70 ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION AND BEYOND. We want to see everyone there to help mark this auspicious occasion. Please make your reservations and place your ad in the commemorate journal sooner rather than later. September 30, 2026 is the deadline for the journal ads.

 

Just as important, Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are almost here. Please check your Tidings for all the important dates, deadlines, and service times.

 

On July 19, 2026 we were so honored to have Dorothy and Len Wiener’s ( z”l ) children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren present when we held The  re-Dedication of the Sephardic Torah. Paula Etra, their daughter spoke eloquently about her parents. Rabbi Joe Mendelsohn and Cantor Zev Brooks led a very meaningful service. Afterwards we all enjoyed delicious desserts and camaraderie. Thank you to Jenny Levy and Judy Robins for taking care of that part of the afternoon.

 

Thank you to Margot Nuthmann for polishing the Temple silver. We appreciate your help on this project and everything looks beautiful.

 

Also I want to thank William Erler, Sandy Harp, and Becky Roth for all their help in the office.

 

I look forward to seeing everyone during the holidays and at the 70th Anniversary.

 

We need everyone to participate in all our services and programs. Please don’t let us down.
