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. 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. It also helps our students make lasting memories and friends. What a deal!

This year's Shalach Manot will include a beautiful Purim Card and a gift certificate to Bagel World.

By sending Shalach Manot you can help give a child the summer experience of a lifetime!

An initial donation of $18 includes up to 6 PURIMGRAMS, with each additional PURIMGRAM costing only $3. The PURIMGRAM will include a letter explaining that a gift was made to the Seth and Toby Hanover Youth Scholarship Fund in their honor.  The letter will list each person/family who sent them a PURIMGRAM.  In addition to sending a PURIMGRAM to an individual, you can choose to do one or more of the following:

$36 – Send a PURIMGRAM to all TSE office staff and clergy
$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.

Orders are due no later than February 23rd.
PURIMGRAMS will be delivered to recipients prior to Purim.

Those who live out of the area will receive their PURIMGRAM in the mail. This year, you can also send PURIMGRAMS to friends and family who are not members of Temple Shaari Emeth for $18 each (United States addresses only).

Thank you for helping to give our children the gift of Jewish Camp! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Temple office.

Happy Purim,
Naomi Bressler, Chair of the Seth and Toby Hanover Youth Scholarship Committee
