COME ONE, COME ALL - JOIN US FOR OUR  ANNUAL CONGREGATIONAL MEETING! If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I understood where my membership contribution goes,” or “Who decides what happens next at Temple Judea?” we invite you to attend this year’s Annual Congregational Meeting on Wednesday, May 13 at 7pm. We promise, it’s more interesting (and more important) than it sounds. You’ll hear what we’ve been working on, where we’re headed, and how we’re planning for the year ahead. Whether you’ve been engaged for years or are just beginning to find your place, there are many ways to get involved, from committees and social action initiatives to learning programs and community groups. Temple Judea thrives because of members who contribute their ideas, energy, and care, and the Annual Meeting is a great way to step into that shared role.

We’ll also vote on the 2026–2027 budget and elect our Board, lay leaders from within our own community who volunteer their time to guide Temple Judea in the year ahead. If you’d like to learn a bit more in advance, you can visit  here, but truly, no background knowledge is needed. Simply showing up makes a difference. All members in good standing are welcome to attend, participate, and vote. We’d love to see you there.

As we prepare for the new fiscal year beginning July 1, you’ll receive renewal information in late May or early June. Responding before June 30, helps us plan for the year-ahead. This year, your timely renewal will also get you early access to reserve your High Holy Day tickets. For those on a payment plan, renewing early allows us to spread payments over the longest possible period. And, if you’re in a position to do more, we encourage you to consider becoming a Pillar by giving beyond your annual commitment to support the experiences and connections we all value, and share the benefit of membership with others in need of assistance.

Our future is something we create together, and your presence and voice truly matter. We look forward to seeing you on May 13.
