Shalom Temple Emanu-El Community,

A Joinder was finalized for approval after much deliberation and help from the BOD and committee chair. I am infinitely appreciative of the many inputs and feedback.
There are a few key activities to note in the next month:

  • Friday, May 2, 2025, from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM: Open invitation for our membership to visit Temple Emanuel Andover and meet our new community. The service lasts approximately one hour, is appropriate for all ages, and will be followed by an Oneg.
  • Sunday, May 4, 2025, at 10 AM: Annual Meeting and vote for the Joinder and Dissolution. Those in good standing should have received the ballot. We look forward to seeing you in-person in the Starensier Assembly. This meeting is important for all members to attend and will serve as both an opportunity to vote and to ask questions. Your attendance is valued and appreciated.
 
  • Friday Evening, May 16, 2025
    • 6:00 PM: Dinner with an evening Shabbat service to follow (~7:00 PM)
    • Dinner will be a potluck cookout. We have Hebrew National hot dogs at the temple and will be soliciting Pareve, nut-free side dishes.
​
  • Saturday Morning, May 17, 2025
    • 9:30 AM: Service
    • 12:00 PM: Kiddush
    • Kiddush will include bagels, schmears, lox, kugels, etc.
 
  • Saturday Evening, May 17, 2025
    • 6:30 PM: Gala and Havdalah
    • Featuring appetizers, desserts, and fun mocktails.
    • Recognition and appreciation of the many groups of people who have made Temple Emanu-El the wonderful community it has been.
    • Havdalah to acknowledge the transition of the community.
