It’s a way for us to stay in touch with each other, ask for a ride or a helping hand, follow up after events and holidays, discuss topics related to Jewish or synagogue life, or anything else we’d like. This message board is brand new, and we invite you to create free account, introduce yourself, and bring the hospitality and warmth to it that we bring each time we enter the doors of Temple Sholom. To join, please go to: templesholom.groups.io/g/congregation/join, and scroll down to the blue button to create a new account. In time, we will look for volunteers in our community to help to moderate the group – to welcome new members and to generally ensure that conver- sations are respectful and productive. If you are interested in diving in even now, please email us at [email protected], and to let us know. We hope this new tool fosters connection within our community, and we look forward to being more in touch with you. See you there! Kim Werker Chair, Online Engagement Mary Kleiner Third Vice President
