The fictional Biblical Book of Esther was written as entertainment with a message. As we enjoy Purim, let us not forget the message. The New Year has started out with a bang in January and February with many new members joining the Temple Beth Torah family. Our friendly, close-knit members are what make our congregation so special. Growth in our congregation is certainly a good thing.
Growth helps generate revenue, and increased revenue can help provide additional programs.
But along with our growth come new demands. Our Board of Directors, Religious School Board, and teachers are all volunteers that are working hard to make our congregation everything that it can be. In addition, our Sisterhood and Brotherhood are active organizations that provide an additional volunteer pool that is an integral part of our congregation. Other members provide their time on a variety of projects as well. I could not thank each of them enough for the effort they put into our congregation.
