This Week at Temple Emanuel!

A High Holy Days' Message from our President of the Board  of Trustees

Thank You for Your Generosity!

We are at 83% of Our GOAL!

First, thank you to everyone who has made a commitment to our High Holy Days' Appeal! 

For those of you who have not yet made a commitment, we appreciate your consideration as we work towards reaching our goal of $45,000 -- and, with your help, we know we can do it!

Remember, we would love to see 100% of our community support us ... no gift is too small as every gift helps us get closer to the finish line!

Please see our President's Yom Kippur message below for more information about why your gift is so needed and thank you always for your support of our spiritual community!

So, grab a cup of coffee and join us ONLINE at 9:15am.

Saturday Morning Worship Service led by Rabbi Cookie Lea Olshein

*ONLINE ONLY*

Meeting ID: 881 7402 8792 Passcode: Torah

During our informal (and interactive) Shabbat Morning worship, we will dig deeper into the meaning of our traditional prayers and liturgical music, while including modern, interpretative versions that will challenge our understanding of our tradition, as well as a short Torah reading. Each week, we will include a prayer for healing and recitation of the Mourner's Kaddish in case you would like to share your personal prayers for those we love who are struggling and those we have lost.

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 1^st 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 3^rd 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!

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 .
