The One Mistake You Make Every Time You Walk In To Temple Emanuel About a year and a half ago, as word got out that I was to be the next president of Temple Emanuel, I was presented with a challenge by many of you, the congregants of TE. You wanted to know: What is the vision? Where are we going? What are we doing? Why, as a congregant, am I here? Well, it was challenge accepted. I put together an amazing team, and we crafted a thoughtful and passionate vision for now and our future that I try to model every day as your president. It says, Temple Emanuel will be a leader in the South Jersey community and the Reform Jewish movement as a vibrant, thriving and engaging congregation. We will continue to honor our heritage by providing a place that nurtures a cohesive community and fosters our relationships with God, Torah and Israel. Our collective commitment will ensure that we, in our own time, pass along Temple Emanuel to our future generations with the same love, devotion and faith that our past generations did for all of us. Each person entering our space is an integral part of the Temple Emanuel fabric, and we are proud to say that however someone defines family, they will find a Jewish home at Temple Emanuel. So, what’s the one mistake? You don’t realize that by being a member of Temple Emanuel, you are part of something amazing. You don’t realize that your membership includes a community of people who are passionate about making the world a better, more peaceful place and who are there for you to help celebrate the happy times and support you when they are not. And you don’t realize that, as a member of Temple Emanuel, you matter and that Temple Emanuel is glad you are one of the threads that make up our fabric. Letter from the President: Jessica Manelis So walk through the doors. Join the excitement. Get involved. Join a committee. Come to an event. Worship with us on Shabbat. Make a difference. Remember, a mistake made twice is a decision. See you at TE! Jessica Manelis, President Jessica@templeemanuel.org techerryhill @techerryhill www.templeemanuel.org 3
