PLEASE HELP! On March 29, 2008, the
Temple will hold its Gala Event, “Black Tie and
Pearls.” This event is in honor of our 30th
anniversary. The planning committee would like to
recognize the first thirty babies who were named at
Temple Emanu-El, as well as the first thirty Bar or
Bat Mitzvah children. Please call Brenda Graiser at
770-396-0006, if you think your child might fit into
these categories.
Shabbat is about community. Feel welcome to arrive as early as 7:30pm for snacks and socializing as we prepare for Shabbat Services.
And what about a wall on our southern border? Isn’t it critical to national security? What makes a wall between the United States and Mexico any different than the “fence” Israel has erected on the West Bank?
Where do you draw the line between social justice and clear law-breaking?
These are among the issues of the illegal immigration question that we, as Jews, need to examine through our own prism: the Torah. Please join us this Thursday evening, Rabbi Schwartz will be our teacher as we answer the question: “What does Judaism say about how illegal immigrants and our responsibilities and obligations as Jews?”
That’s the topic of our next Adult Education program in this series, Thursday, December 13th, 7:30-9PM in Social Hall 3, at Temple Emanu-El.
