President's Message
December 2020
As I sit on my patio enjoying what will most likely be the last sixty-degree day for a while, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have worked tirelessly to keep the Temple community together.
Most of us cannot wait for the calendar to turn to 2021; the new year brings the hope of a COVID vaccine and perhaps a return to normalcy. We are fortunate that both Cantor Vera and Rabbi Rachel have provided our community with a lifeline to both the spiritual and educational aspects of Judaism. The breadth of programs that are available to our membership is extensive. If you have not attended any of our Zoom services or programs, you are truly missing out!
As we say goodbye to 2020, we also end an era at Temple Emanu-El. We will be saying goodbye to Morah Devorah, who is retiring after many years as both teacher and director in our religious school. Please join us in wishing Debbi a long, relaxing, and enjoyable retirement, and join us via Zoom on December 13 at 4:00 pm to say farewell.
Finally, as 2020 comes to a close, please remember that donations made to Temple Emanu-El by December 31 are tax deductible. Please look for the “Donate” button on our homepage, or click the link below.
Have a safe, happy, and healthy Chanukah.
