Reopening Committee

Update

As national, state, and local health authorities begin to allow additional activities in certain communities, we begin working on the process of reopening. We understand that economic and communal pressure, the feeling of isolation, and the desire to “get back to normal” create bias in favor of reopening. Jewish values obligate us to consider broader implications of our actions, including the risk to our Rabbi, employees, volunteers, our congregants, and those who would come in contact with them. The data is reviewed on a weekly basis and adjustments to the policy will be made accordingly. We ask for your patience and understanding during this process.

If you have driven past the temple recently, you might have noticed an addition to the front lawn. Thank you to the TBD Social Action Committee for designing and installing our new sign!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Cheshire Pizza & Ale Restaurant Night in March. Cheshire Pizza donated 10% of all food orders taken that evening to Temple Beth David. Thanks to our wonderful members and friends, we received $440!!!

Each week we will feature a different family within our congregation. To have your household included in an upcoming email, be sure to fill out the survey here .
