TEMPLE NER TAMID

President, Scott FeinsteinShalom!From: Allen Talewsky, Ritual ChairShalom,I hope everyone had a terrific summer. Temple Ner Tamidhas been busy over the summer, with various events suchas a musical Shabbat and hot dog Shabbat, planning for theupcoming year at the Religious School, and planning forthe High Holidays. We're pleased to have Rabbi Zukerhere in our community. While her official start date as ourRabbi is October 1, she's already very involved in the religiouslife here at TNT. I've met with Rabbi Zuker on manyoccasions, and continue to be very proud of the work theRabbi Search Committee did. We found a first-class Rabbiand I'm so excited about working with her over the nextyear.As I really get into my second year as your President, Iagain get very excited about all the great things we're goingto do together this year. Our Temple community is asstrong as ever. There are so many people that love TempleNer Tamid and feel very passionately about our community.I'm one of those people. One of my goals this year is toshare this love and passion with as many people as possible.Why do I love Temple Ner Tamid so much? It's notthe building. It's all of you. We're an extended family.Like any family we may be a bit dysfunctional, but TempleNer Tamid will always be here for me and me for TempleNer Tamid.I truly want to engage every single member of Temple NerTamid to participate in all manner of activities. While servicesare an important part of Temple life, they are not theonly part. If you see something that catches your interest,give it a try. As I tell my son "try it – you'll like it". Thereare also many ways that you can all help out. During theHigh Holidays you'll hear more about what you can do as avolunteer to help strengthen our community.In the spirit of the coming Holidays, if there's anything I'vedone over the past year that hurt or offended you, I humblyask for your understanding and your forgiveness.L'Shanah Tovah,Scott Feinsteinpres@templenertamid.orgLulav & Etrog SetsWould like to order your ownLulav & Etrog set for $40.00?Please let Beth know by September 9th.Weekday minyan services are held in the Milton Cohenchapel Monday and Thursday mornings at 7:30am andSunday morning at 9:00 am.
