SPOTLIGHT 2020: CANTOR CHOMSKY'S OPUS
|
As a community, we are very excited and eager to honor Cantor Jack Chomsky as he prepares for retirement after 38 years of music, service, and leadership at Congregation Tifereth Israel. Unfortunately, due to the current health safety crisis, the beautiful Shabbat dinner and one-of-a-kind concert planned in celebration of our cantor must be
postponed
to an as of yet undetermined future date.
We are extremely grateful to the members of our community who have already committed to a sponsorship and/or made dinner/ticket purchases. While we await clarity on what the future holds, we encourage you, if you have not already done so, to continue to honor Cantor Chomsky in this way and click the link below to become a sponsor or purchase event tickets.

LOGIN TO YOUR MEMBERSHIP ACCOUNT
PAY BY PHONE

SURVEY FOR THOSE WHO NEED HELP OR CAN OFFER ASSISTANCE
|
After coordinating with
Jewish Family Services
, we have created a
survey
, which we would encourage you to complete. It asks if you have the means to offer some kind of assistance, require assistance, or would like to share with us in confidence the name of someone who might need assistance but does not know how to ask. We are constantly brainstorming ways to protect the health of everyone in the community while still offering a way to help. Please fill out the
survey
and thank you, in advance, to all those who are able to help and to those who have the courage to ask for help in this time of need. Click
HERE
to find the survey and please feel free to share it with anyone who might need it.
