5785/2025 Co-Presidents' Letter

Dear Temple Emanu-El Family,

On behalf of our Board of Trustees, we wish you and your loved ones a very sweet and happy New Year!

It has been quite a year, indeed. Our strength and unity were tested on October 7th last year, but through it all, our Jewish and extended communities have shown incredible resilience and solidarity. We are proud to share that our membership continues to grow, making it the largest it has ever been.

We are also thrilled to announce that our initial phase of our Campus Reimagined project has been completed. The new space is already providing the serenity and spirituality we all hoped for. Additionally, our programming continues to expand and has been met with enthusiasm, as we have joined together to learn and grow as we enhance ourselves and our community.

Your unwavering support, dedication, and love have been a guiding light for us all. We cannot thank you enough for your contributions to our community.

This year’s motto, "Am Yisrael Chai" (The People of Israel Live), resonates deeply with us. We hope it inspires you as much as it does us, reminding us all to honor those we have lost and to reaffirm our enduring strength and presence.

May this New Year bring you and your family continued health, happiness, and fulfillment.

Warmest regards,

Dana Neiger                            Mitch Lewis
