Community Appeal

Although we are living in extraordinary times, Temple Shaari Emeth has continued to provide a strong Jewish foundation for our community.  We have provided virtual Friday night services which have included a Drive-In Shabbat Service and a Shabbarbeque Service. Our religious school continued to provide a strong Jewish education for our children. Our Youth Groups continued to meet virtually throughout the school year ensuring that our youth continued to connect with each other. The Early Learning Center camp is operating this summer.

Temple Shaari Emeth is an important part of our community’s Jewish identity. During these challenging times, our temple continues to provide stability and strength to our congregants and our community. Now more than ever the temple will need to rely on the generosity of our members and supporters to ensure that we meet the needs of everyone in our congregation. This year we are implementing a new contribution structure which is outlined below. 

Every contributor will be recognized on the wall in front of the sanctuary and in the Book of Life which lists the names of this year’s B’nai Mitzvah, Confirmands, newlyweds, and newborn children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.  It also contains pictures and information celebrating the life of the temple.  By including your name in the Book of Life, you honor the accomplishments of community members and send a High Holy Day greeting for a good New Year. 

We know that families may be financially stretched but any level of contribution would help. We are hoping for 100% participation this year!!  Please use this link to donate now to the 2020 – 2021 TSE Community Appeal. 

We thank you in advance for your support.

Kol yisrael aravin zeh ba zeh -- All Israel is responsible one for the other.
