A letter to the Congregation from our new Temple Emanuel President,
Richard Lewit:
Dear Congregants,
I would like to affirm Board Policy with respect to enrollment in
the Barbara and Leonard Zimet Religious School. Our
school is open to all member families in good standing.
This policy is clearly stated on the Religious School
enrollment form. Aides are enrollees in our Religious
School. We consider the Aide experience an integral part
of our community's Religious School education.
Board policy has been and continues to be that when a family
chooses to resign their membership, their children are
no longer eligible for the privilege of participating in
Religious School.
We are saddened when any family chooses to withdraw their support
for our multifaceted Congregation. Our commitment
remains always to open our doors, regardless of means,
to those who sustain and participate in our community.
B’shalom, Richard Lewit, President, Temple Emanuel
We welcome you with our Open
Door Policy.
Join us for an extraordinary family worship experience.
