Names from the Shoah: Do you have family who was lost in the Shoah? Please forward those names to Ellen Weene, so we can add them to our booklet. And please join us at our Yom HaShoah evening on Sunday, April 23 at 7:30 PM.
Summer Service Leaders & Speakers wanted!
Our custom at Temple Emunah during the summer months is to have members of our community serve as Shabbat morning service leaders and speakers. All members are welcome to be a summer speaker giving the d’var Torah and/or sharing a personal or professional story with our community.
The Religious School Committee
would like to invite families to attend Shabbat services together by grade. The hope is for children to see their classmates in their dedicated service, and that families from the same grade will sit together in the Main Service and during Kiddush.
Next Shabbat is May 6th when we welcome Kitah Alef.
