Shalom Chaverim!
Wow! What an incredible week filled with Sukkot and Simchat Torah celebrations. This weekend we continue to celebrate with Harper Lyerly being called to the Torah at a Bat Mitzvah. Everyone is encouraged to attend Shabbat services Friday at 6:30 pm and Saturday at 10 am to honor Harper and her family as they celebrate this simcha.
CROP Walk is this week, Sunday, October 19th!
The CROP Walk helps fight food insecurity in our community and around the world. Please sign-up to walk on the Temple Emanuel team or donate here.
Help take down the Sukkah
Anyone who is able, please stay to help take down the Sukkah, and move tables and chairs back to the shed this Sunday, October 19th after Bagel Breakfast. Thank you!
Shabbat and Holiday Service Attendance Forms
Our 4th-7th Grade students preparing for Brit Mitzvah have Shabbat and Holiday Service attendance requirements. Please remember to fill out your forms for the services you've attended over High Holy Days. Service attendance forms can be found here. You are welcome to print them, request printed copies, or to fill them out in Google Drive and share them with me. Please make sure to label the file with your student's name. Let me know if you have questions or concerns. We encourage everyone to attend services and pray with our community as often as possible.

URJ Summer Camp Registration is Open for returning campers and will be open soon for new campers. We will continue to provide camperships from Temple Emanuel to support students attending Jewish summer camps! This link will take you to the general options, but I suspect you have messages from your camps and I wanted to highlight that registration is open for returning campers.
Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas to share. We are so grateful for all of your support for these programs.
L'Shalom,
Becky
