President's Message
November 2023
Shalom Temple Emanu-El,
It is Cheshvan, so we can take a quick breather after the busy high holiday season, but before Chanukah starts.
At this time, our world is chaotic. Many of us are similarly struggling to come to grips with what is going on. More than ever, we find strength in our community and your presence in the Temple, at our events is so important (whether it be in-person or on Zoom). I encourage you to come to services, reach out to the Rabbi, Lisa, or I, and come to events the Temple is hosting. We can find comfort in the togetherness. At the High Holy Days, I discussed our needs in the Haverhill Jewish community, depending on our congregants for support. Support comes mainly in the forms of volunteering within our congregation as well as financial support, which affords our professional staff as well as building and activity costs. Within our Temple, we run a variety of activities and could not offer these without our committee chairs. Please take an opportunity to review the supplement at some time during these high holy days to see the committees that we have and the volunteers who chair them. These people are the lifeblood of our congregation, but they (and I) need your help. If you haven’t already, please consider giving to the annual HHD fundraiser.
Lastly, I want to remind you to please provide feedback on how we are doing and what you would like to see in our congregation. I welcome feedback on events, services, HHD, everything. Just a reminder that my email is president@templeemanu-el.org.
L’Shalom,
Jenn Lampron
