Conversion Service

On On August 19, 2022, we held a lovely Shabbat service where we welcomed 4 new Jews into our community.  All of them had studied with Rabbi Judy for approximately one year and fulfilled all of the obligations needed to convert to Judaism.  They all participated in the Shabbat service and we passed the Torah to each of them as they were blessed with their new Hebrew names.  Welcome Don, Aviv, Sable and JJ.

Purim Fun
On Friday, March 18, 2022, we hosted a fun evening of Purim festivities.  We began with a brief Shabbat service and then presented a Purim Shpiel with a Dr. Seuss theme.  Many thanks to those who participated in the show:  Alan Barth, Gaynell Barth, Bill Levinson, Chris Colbert, Allison Dalton, Rachel Allen and Rabbi Judy..  Afterwards, we hosted a pot luck dinner with lots of hamantaschen baked by Rabbi Judy. 


​​On Saturday, we had fun making hamantaschen in the kitchen.



Shabbat Mishpocha

As the children in our congregation have gotten older, we have re-named Tot Shabbat - Shabbat Mishpocha (Family Shabbat).  We host a Family Shabbat on Saturday mornings with a brief service, a special activity and a snack whenever Rabbi Judy is in town.  All families are welcome to attend.  Please contact the Temple to find out the schedule.

We are grateful to the Temple Sisterhood for purchasing special prayer books for us to use for our Shabbat Mishpocha services.
