Lunch Bag Thanks
Thank you all for your contributions of food and your time at the lunch assembly yesterday. We made 235 lunches for the Lowell Transitional Living Center. We also sent a box of scarves and hats which Temple members made.
The work was completed by many people of many ages. Thank you again and look for the next lunch assembly in early March.

Aleph Isn’t Tough
This class is intended for both brand-new Hebrew readers as well as more experienced readers who feel their skills need some sprucing up. If you are considering conversion or adult bar/bat mitzvah, this course is essential. Classes will meet on Sunday afternoons at 2:00 p.m. (can be made a bit later if there is a strong preference from students).
New students are still welcome to join if you do so by February 4 and let the rabbi know a few days before that so she can help you catch up.
Class dates:
- January 21
- February 4 (moved from January 28)
- February 11
- March 4 and 18
- April 8 and 29
- May 6
Please email rabbi@temv.org to confirm your seat in the class. There is no cost to attend, though an $80 donation to TEMV is requested. You also must acquire the text Aleph Isn’t Tough: An Introduction to Hebrew for Adults
Lay Leaders Needed
We are looking for lay leaders for Shabbat services on February 16th. Please contact Karen if you are able to do so.
