High Holy Day Services
Our full High Holy Day Service Schedule is now available! We hope to see you at some or all of our services, and encourage you to invite friends and family members who are not yet a part of the TEMV community! As always, we do not charge for High Holy Day seats (we rely on voluntary donations from attendees), and do not require tickets or reservations—just come to celebrate and pray with us.
An Introduction to Judaism
It’s not too late to sign up!
TEMV is partnering with three other Reform Jewish congregations in the Merrimack Valley to offer an exciting course on Judaism starting Tuesday, September 10! Rabbi Sparr will be one of four clergy co-leading the course. Class started last week, but it’s not too late to join. Preregistration is required; see here for more details. This week’s class will be at Temple Emanu-El in Haverhill.
High Holy Day Food Collection
It is time for our annual High Holy Days collection of food for homebound people and their pets. Shopping bags are available at the Temple. Please fill and return them to the Temple.
Mah Jong
No mah jong this week.
Are you interested in playing or learning to play? If so, contact mahjong@temv.org with your availability (days of the week and time). Beginners are always welcome and temple membership is not a prerequisite. We are always open to suggestions for other games as well!
2019-20 Pledges Due
Please remember that if we have not received your pledge form or an initial pledge payment that specifically states it is intended for membership, then you are not considered a member and will miss out on the benefits of membership. Thank you for your continued support and understanding. These pledges are the regular income on which we all rely. You may also pay online, or contact Phebe, our co-treasurer, at treasurer@temv.org if you have any questions.
