Recent TSE Emails

Believe it or not, Temple Shaari Emeth is gearing up to celebrate Purim. You can help make the holiday sweet by sending PURIMGRAMS to others. At this time, when so many people feel so isolated, sending a PURIMGRAM to a friend, family member, or neighbor is a sweet way to show you care.

Proceeds from each PURIMGRAM help fund the Toby and Seth Hanover Youth Scholarship Fund, which provides over $10,000 of scholarship each year to support sending our children to Jewish camps and educational programs. The importance of Jewish summer experiences in developing strong Jewish identities as adults is well-documented and a goal of the synagogue. We also help our students make lasting memories and friends. What a deal! By sending chocolate you can help give a child the summer experience of a lifetime!

You can send a chocolate bar to members of the TSE community:  For an initial $18 donation you can send up to 6 PURIMGRAMS, with each additional PURIMGRAM  costing only $2. In addition to the PURIMGRAM, recipients will receive a letter explaining that a gift was made to the Seth and Toby Hanover Youth Scholarship Fund with a list of all the people who sent it to them.  In addition to sending a PURIMGRAM to an individual, you can chose to do on or more of the following:

$36 – Send a PURIMGRAM to all Clergy & Administrative staff

$36 – Send a PURIMGRAM to all ELC teachers and staff

$36 – Send a PURIMGRAM to all Religious School teachers and staff

$36 – Send a PURIMGRAM to all TSE Board of Trustee members

$180 – Send a PURIMGRAM to the entire congregation

Finally, you can also chose to send a PURIMGRAM to everyone who sends one to you (and be billed by the synagogue) or pay how you paid for your initial order.

Even more exciting, three chocolate bars will include a golden ticket, which can be traded in for a $50 Amazon gift card.

Orders are due no later than February 5, 2021. PURIMGRAMS will be delivered to recipients the week of February 21. Those who live out of the area will receive their PURIMGRAM in the mail.

Thank you for helping to give our children the gift of Jewish Camp!

Happy Purim,
