Shabbat Morning Torah Study led by Rabbi Cookie Lea Olshein.
9:15 am | Live and Interactive on Zoom
*ONLINE ONLY*
Meeting ID: 881 7402 8792 | Passcode: Torah
Each Saturday morning this year, we have gathered online to examine the Torah portion assigned to the week through the lens of Mussar, a Jewish ethics-based framework where we work on improving our soul-traits. While searching for new insights regarding how our ancient tradition applies to our modern lives, we use “The Mussar Torah Commentary,” edited by Rabbi Barry Block, as the basis for this year’s discussion -- this week is the final week of the Torah reading cycle. (Please note: While it is not necessary to purchase the book as all materials are provided onscreen, we do encourage you to purchase the book as it is a great resource for further study.)
No prior Torah Study experience required… just hop online and BYOC ("Bring Your Own Coffee")!
**PLEASE NOTE: Beginning THIS WEEK, we will have a new Zoom link for Torah Study and Shabbat Morning Worship. Additionally, as we are beginning the Torah again with Genesis 1:1 next week, we will begin using "The Social Justice Commentary" (published by the CCAR) as the lens through which we are studying Torah this year.

i-Help - Volunteers needed! |
Volunteer to Feed the Hungry in 2022!
I-HELP is an acronym for Interfaith Housing Emergency Lodging Program. It is a program of Tempe Community Action Agency that partners a number of faith communities, clubs, and organizations to combat homelessness.
As we continue to work within the program, our assignments have changed as has the location. We need your help to fill our new days and times at the new locations!
We hope that this will provide an opportunity for those who have not previously been able to represent Temple Emanuel by volunteering with I-Help to do so in the future.
Going forward, we are now assigned the 1st Wednesday of each month. The new location will be Tempe Church of Christ, located on Mill Ave. (Please note: this location does not have a kitchen where the meals can be prepared, all food must come prepared.)
Our second day of the month will be every 3rd Thursday. This new location will take place at King of Glory Church on Southern off the 101. (This location does have a fully stocked kitchen for cooking.)
With these changes, we are now looking for new volunteers beginning in July through the end of the year!
Click here to read more.
Or if you are interested in signing up, contact our Temple Emanuel i-Help coordinator, Jim Flegenheimer either by phone at (480) 390-1514 or via email at lpflegy@cox.net .
