The Temple annual meeting is on Wednesday, May 22 at 7pm.

In addition to discussing the year ahead, we will also review the results of the Temple survey that many of you participated in.

Please join us.
Starting Friday, May 17 and forward, we will begin our Shabbat services at 6pm.  Hopefully, this will increase attendance as you will still have time to have dinner or go to another event afterwards. Stop by on your way home from work and experience the peace that Shabbat brings.

It's time to renew your Temple membership for the year beginning June 1.  Please click here if you'd like to use your credit card.
