Dear Temple Emanu-El Community,

As we close this chapter in the life of our beloved Temple, we do so with full hearts and profound gratitude. Over the past 88 years—and especially in this past year—we have witnessed the extraordinary power of community: people coming together with purpose, compassion, and dedication to build something sacred and lasting.

This final bulletin article is not just a farewell—it is a thank you. A wholehearted, deeply felt thank you to every individual who has contributed to the life and legacy of Temple Emanu-El. Whether you served on a committee, taught in our classrooms, led services, organized events, or simply showed up when we needed you most—your presence has mattered. Your efforts have shaped our story.

Two weeks ago, we gathered for a beautiful weekend of celebration, with nearly 150 people joining us over the 3 separate events. It was a joyful, emotional, and unforgettable tribute to all that Temple Emanu-El has meant to so many. Thank you to everyone who helped plan, attend, and support that milestone moment.

We could not have accomplished all that we did this past year without the tireless work of our professional staff, our committee chairs, and the many volunteers who gave their time, energy, and hearts. You have been the backbone of this community, and we are endlessly grateful.

Last month, during our Gala, we took a moment to recognize the many groups and individuals who have helped make Temple Emanu-El what it is. While we invited people to stand then, today we simply invite you to feel seen, appreciated, and loved. You can revisit the full list of those we honored HERE.

As we prepare to transition, we are blessed with one more month of services at 514 Main Street. We hope you’ll join us in savoring these final moments in our cherished sanctuary. And then, with hope and excitement, we look forward to welcoming you to our new home at Temple Emanuel in Andover, on Haggett’s Pond Road.

To our Haverhill Jewish community—thank you. Thank you for the memories, the milestones, the mitzvot. Thank you for the laughter, the learning, the leadership. Thank you for making 514 Main Street not just a building, but a home.

May the spirit of Temple Emanu-El continue to guide us as we step into the next chapter of Jewish life in the Merrimack Valley.

With love and gratitude,

Jenn Lampron
