Special Congregational Meeting
Monday, January 24, 7:30 pm (Zoom)
At our meeting on December 14, the Board of Trustees voted overwhelmingly to proceed with unification with Temple Emanuel. A similar vote was held a few days later by Temple Emanuel's Board who likewise strongly endorsed the unification. We now bring the vote to the congregations for approval of this important step in our congregational history. A Special Congregational Meeting will be held on Monday, January 24 at 7:30 pm for purposes of voting on official unification effective July 1, 2022.
That meeting will be held on Zoom only and voting will be handled in much the same way as our 2021 Annual Congregational Meeting in May. Each adult household member of a member family in good standing will have a vote. Pursuant to our by-laws, a majority of those present, including proxies, is needed to pass the measure which will include approval to sell our building.
In addition, contact MainOffice@mkorshalom.org for a "Frequently Asked Questions" sheet that summarizes the information presented to the congregation at our meetings in November. There will be limited opportunity for questions and discussion at the January 24 meeting, but if you have any questions you can contact us in advance at unification@mkorshalom.org and the leadership will be happy to address your concerns.
Below is the formal motion that will be voted upon on January 24:
Do you approve of the unification of Congregation M'kor Shalom and Temple Emanuel at 1101 Springdale Road, Cherry Hill, commencing July 1, 2022, and the sale or lease of our current property and building at 850 E. Evesham Road, Cherry Hill?
We look forward to seeing everyone at the meeting on January 24 and toward pursuing a new and exciting future.
