So, I must start with a sincere apology for not getting this note off sooner this week! It has been a crazy week at work for me and it completely slipped my mind.  While that is not a good excuse, it’s just a reality for me this go round.  The good news is that it’s a slow news week so you really haven’t missed out on much!

Have you seen the pictures of our members and Temple that we share on our Website? Check out the About page at:  www.florencetemple.org.

Even though it is a holiday weekend, it was decided that we will have services this Friday.  They will be led by Robert Adler.  Rabbi Nancy will be back next Friday, July 8.  The dates that she will be leading our services in July and August are:

  • July 8 and 22
  • August 12 and 26

Everyone is also invited and encouraged to attend the weekly Torah Study group that meets each Saturday morning at 9:30, at the Temple.

Reminder items:

  • Please mark your calendar for Saturday, July 23 and get ready to have some fun when the Temple hosts a WC Handy Festival event called the Ten Gallon Yarmulka…featuring our very own Rabbi Nancy Tunick and her talented husband, Scott Whitehead! The Social Committee is working on all the specifics related to hosting the event – and volunteers will be needed – so, stay tuned for more details to come. In the meantime, mark it on your calendar and plan to be there!
  • The Temple Rummage Sale and Picnic is scheduled for Saturday, August 20th. Clean out those closets and save it for the big sale! Again, the Social Committee is working on specifics for this event and they will share more details soon. Between now and then we will likely have one or two Temple clean-out days so look for that announcement and plan to pitch in on this much-needed task!

If you are aware of something in the community that you would like me to draw some attention to in my message, please let me know! And, as always, if you have any announcements you would like for me to share with our membership, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

I hope you all have a wonderful week and I look forward to seeing you Friday night!

Shalom!

Traci Welch
