Do you know anyone that is sick? Do you go over to the person’s house because you want to? Or do you feel obligated? Hopefully it is the former, not the latter. This would be doing a Mitzvah. It is not obligatory and there is no recognition.

The same philosophy can be utilized at the Temple. The Temple is not “sick”, but the building is getting older. When things start to show their age, they start to break down. One such item is our air conditioning unit. I know, it’s winter, why think about the a/c? We have to find a way to come up with tens of thousands of dollars. We need donations. We need people to actively participate in future fundraisers.

Please volunteer.

Let’s work together as a Temple community to preserve what we have, and make it stronger for the future. Your family needs you.

B’Shalom, President Steve Abrams
