It’s an exciting season at Temple Judea as we welcome new members, reconnect with familiar faces, and prepare for an exciting year ahead. Amid all this energy and anticipation, we want to pause to express gratitude to you, the people who have created, sustained, and who continue to nurture this beautiful community.

Without you, there would be no Temple Judea. By choosing to be part of this extended Jewish family, you affirm the enduring importance of Jewish life—in your own home, in our synagogue, and in the world. That commitment matters now more than ever.

As we begin our 2025–2026 year together, we do so with a meaningful theme: “The mitzvah is upon us to tell our story.” In times like these, sharing our stories, our values, and our lived experiences strengthens the bonds between us and reminds the world who we are. 

If you haven’t yet renewed your commitment to Temple Judea, we invite you to do so now, before the crush that comes with the start of school and the proximity of the High Holy Days. And, as you look ahead to the coming year, we invite you to consider taking one more meaningful step—becoming a Pillar of the Community. Temple Judea was built—and continues to thrive—because of the vision, generosity, and leadership of our Pillars. This special program allows self-selected members to provide impactful, ongoing support that helps sustain essential programs, assist members in need, and ensure our congregation remains strong, inclusive, and vibrant. Becoming a Pillar is not only a personal commitment—it’s a powerful statement that Jewish life is not just relevant, but essential.

To every one of us: thank you for being part of the Temple Judea story. We're thrilled to be writing this next chapter together.
