 Refugee Family Update |
One and a half years after their arrival, Temple Israel's relationship remains strong with the Syrian refugee family whose resettlement in the Greater Boston Area we have been supporting. The family has recently moved into a new apartment with generously subsidized rent through a UU Church connection. TI continues to support in supplementing rent and living expenses. The father, Ahmed, is working full-time, hired by a TI congregant while the mother, Nour, is staying at home to care for their newborn, Salam. Their two teenage boys, Adam and Esam, are excited to be entering middle and high school respectively. Enduring friendships have been formed among TI congregants and the family and we look forward to continuing our support as this family navigates life in the Boston area.

 Hillel would ask: "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am for myself only, what am I? If not now, when?" Join the Temple Israel community in asking ourselves these questions as our guide through the 5779 High Holy Day season. Our newly redesigned High Holy Day mailing is on its way to you. Keep an eye out for your customized booklet within the week. |

| Changes Coming to Temple Israel and Longwood Avenue |
| Nessel Way Entrance Renovation |
We are excited about renovating the Temple Israel entrance this summer! Please pardon our appearance during renovations on the Nessel Way entrance. Starting this week through mid-August, there will be signs posted on Nessel Way directing you to the temporary entrance. While the renovation is taking place, the entrance may change from day to day depending on the contractor's scope of work. We will ensure that signage will easily be visible on Nessel Way, directing you to the appropriate entrance. If you have any questions, please contact us at 617-566-3960.

| Longwood Avenue Bike Lane Construction |
| Beginning this summer, a half mile of new bike lanes and other safety features will be installed along Longwood Avenue in some areas. Cyclists will have dedicated space to ride their bikes and there will be safer crossings for pedestrians. The improvements will increase visibility of pedestrians and bicyclists by motorists and help reduce conflicts. Please plan your travels to Temple Israel accordingly. Read more. |
High Holy Days 5779 Congregational Read
|
| Peace of Mind by Joshua Loth Liebman |
 This year, the book chosen for our High Holy Day congregational read is Peace of Mind, by our former Senior Rabbi Joshua Loth Liebman. In 1946, amidst a world still aching and broken by war, Rabbi Joshua Loth Liebman published this book in an attempt to provide solace and hope to a community that was struggling to come to terms with the war's new horrors and hatreds. As we read Rabbi Liebman's book today, we not only honor his insightful and compassionate legacy, we also find new meaning and urgency in his words, as we as a society once again find ourselves disturbed by newfound hatreds and institutional violence in the world. We invite you to buy or borrow this book and read it in preparation for the High Holy Day season. You can also find the original version of the book online.
