Each week, your Weekly Judean, contains feature stories that highlight what's happening in our Temple Judean community and the issues near and dear to our hearts.
The heart and soul of Temple Judea's success lies in the hands of those who volunteer their time, energy, and expertise without seeking recognition or reward. Whether it’s planning a community event, leading a meaningful discussion, or supporting a new initiative, their efforts are the backbone of everything we do. They are the ones who turn ideas into action, who create spaces for connection and growth, and who help us build a community where everyone feels welcome and supported. As we reflect on 2024, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to the many lay leaders who make our community what it is today. Each of them plays a pivotal role in ensuring that Temple Judea is a thriving synagogue.
Game night is coming on Friday, December 6! Get ready for an evening of food, fun, and friendly competition at Judea Feud – our very own Temple Judea twist on a classic game show - and we’re bringing the actual game show set to our synagogue!
Get ready for a magical week at the Temple Judea Early Childhood Center (ECC) Book Fair, happening November 18-21! It's the perfect opportunity to jump-start your holiday shopping while supporting our fantastic ECC. The Book Fair will be open every day before, during, and after school, offering a wonderful selection of books to add to your library. You can find the daily schedule HERE.

While Rosh Hashanah is a time of joy and celebration, it also invites us to reflect on the year that has passed
Can you believe Erev Rosh Hashanah is just a week from tomorrow? We'll gather with round challahs and apples dipped in honey—symbols of endless possibilities and sweetness. And don’t forget to eat some pomegranate seeds! According to Jewish tradition, the number you eat predicts your good deeds for the year ahead.
