Raise the fallen Sukkah... Fix its breaks
|
|
SUKKOT MESSAGE
On that day, I will raise the fallen Sukkah of David
and repair its breaks
(Amos 9:11)
In its ancient context, this prophetic exclamation referred to the Jerusalem Temple. Still, the verse has resonance for us today and speaks eloquently to Synagogue Council's mission and work in the community.

MAAVAR
Resources for Congregations
in Transition
Congregation Beth Abraham in Auburn, Maine, is selling its building and joining forces with Temple Shalom, also in Auburn. It was founded more than 100 years ago, and the current building dates to 1934. Their main ark has gone to the Maine State Museum, and several other items have gone to Temple Shalom. But they have many very nice sanctuary furnishings and other items that they will not be able to use, and are offering these for sale in order to raise funds for upkeep of their cemetery. To get more information about any of these items or to offer to purchase them, please contact Barbara Shapiro (bandmshaps@gmail.com). All items must be picked up or mailed at the purchaser's expense, before the building closes around November 15.
We also ask for your philanthropy so that we can continue to build our capacity to serve.
