President's Message
April 2024
Happy Spring Temple Congregants!
As Spring shapes up, we get ready to cleanse our houses of chameytz and get ready for Passover. Additionally, we get ready for our Temple’s annual meeting, which will be at the end of Passover. As we prepare for this, we are always looking for more volunteers to staff or Board of Directors and our committees. Please reach out Rabbi, Lisa, or I if you are able and willing. We are always looking for leaders in the congregation!
A few things to add to your calendar:
At this time of year, we typically have a Telethon where the Board of Directors calls homes and ask for pledges. But, since people have fewer home telephones, we are changing this pledge for support to a “Fund a Need” within our congregation. This year, please pledge to help fund part or all of one of the following needs:
As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, feedback.
Chag Pesach Sameach,
