Recent TSE Emails

The Religious School is sponsoring a sale of Lulav and Etrog Sets for Sukkot! Each set is only $36 and must be pre-ordered and pre-paid. Orders will be accepted until Sunday, 9/29 and will be available for pick-up at the Temple on Thursday, 10/10, Friday, 10/11, and Sunday, 10/13. Each day during Sukkot, the lulav and etrog are waved in a special pattern in the sukkah to fulfill the mitzvah. This is a great opportunity to have your own ceremonial lulav (palm frond, myrtle bough, and willow branch) and etrog (citron), while supporting the Religious School and Temple Shaari Emeth.

With Rosh Hashanah Services a week from this Sunday, we want to remind you of some items to make sure that the High Holy Days are meaningful and safe for everyone.

• Tickets were sent out to all members except those with accounts that are not current through August. Please call the office with any questions or if you think there was a mistake.
• As shared in a previous email, tickets were included for those 13 years old and up this year.
• ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​There will be security at all services that may be more noticeable than in previous years.  Please have photo identification ready, along with your tickets, when entering the temple (or high school).  Please be aware of your surroundings, mindful of exit locations, and share any concerns with staff, security, or ushers.
  

We need ushers for weekly Shabbat services and for the High Holy Days. Your help will help to make sure that we are a welcoming congregation for all of our members and guest.

Please consider ushering for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Ushers are needed for all services.   If you would like to usher, please contact Lou Miller (louis.e.miller@outlook.com) or 908-415-1565 with your preferred service(s).  He will confirm your choice(s) and send usher guidelines.


Also, please volunteer to usher a Shabbat service by clicking here. It is a nice way to meet new people and to be part of what makes TSE a welcoming place.

Dear Congregants.
 
I want to introduce myself as the new President of Temple Shaari Emeth “TSE”.  I have been a member of the congregation since 2002 and have lived in Manalapan with my wife and two children for over twenty years.  Both of my children had their B’nai Mitzvah at TSE.
 
My wife Sandra is a Spanish teacher in Monroe Township and is studying for her Master’s degree to become a clinical therapist.  My older son Brian currently lives in Israel and my younger son Andrew is in his second year in College.
 
In my professional career, early on I practiced as an accountant; however about thirty years ago I moved to the insurance industry and became an insurance executive.  Five years ago I started an insurance business that manages underwriting facilities on behalf of insurance companies.
 
Previous to becoming President at TSE,   I chaired the finance committee, and most recently served as the Treasurer for TSE.
 
My goals for my two year term are simple:

1. Stabilize and grow our membership
2. Financially secure TSE’s future
3. Assist our clergy and staff to continue to support the community.

 
If you would like to reach me you can email me at  President@shaariemeth.org  or call me at 732-682-4327.   
 
I hope to see you at our summer Shabbat series. This week is Shabbarbecue!
 
All the best to you and your families.
 
Fabian
