As we prepare for the High Holy Days, we want to pause amidst this busy season to extend a heartfelt welcome to all of Temple Judea’s new members. Our members are the heartbeat of our community: you are the reason our synagogue continues to be such a vibrant, meaningful, and joyful place. As the staff and clergy team plan the coming year of programming, at the heart of every class, family program, worship service, holiday celebration, and event is YOU. You are at the center of everything we do.

In the coming weeks, we’ll gather for Back to Shul, for the first days of Religious School, for Erev Shabbat Services, and in just a few weeks, for Selichot, the High Holy Days, and the festivals of Sukkot and Simchat Torah. As you walk around campus, should you see a new or unfamiliar face, introduce yourself and say hello. Help us welcome our new members to our community and help them feel at home at Temple Judea. Because it’s these relationships, these moments, that make Temple Judea the unique and special place that it is. 

As we look forward to this special season, we also look forward to seeing you, as there's nothing more rewarding for our veteran members and our new members alike than to gather together and celebrate our growing, thriving community!
