The Marriage of Opposites
by Alice Hoffman
Sunday, June 11 at 7:00 PM via Zoom

Growing up on idyllic St. Thomas in the early 1800s, Rachel dreams of life in faraway Paris. Rachel’s mother, a pillar of their small refugee community of Jews who escaped the Inquisition, has never forgiven her daughter for being a difficult girl who refuses to live by the rules. Growing up, Rachel’s salvation is their maid Adelle’s belief in her strengths, and her deep, life-long friendship with Jestine, Adelle’s daughter. But Rachel’s life is not her own. She is married off to a widower with three children to save her father’s business. When her older husband dies suddenly and his handsome, much younger nephew, Frédérick, arrives from France to settle the estate, Rachel seizes her own life story, beginning a defiant, passionate love affair that sparks a scandal that affects all of her family, including her favorite son, who will become one of the greatest artists of France.

Temple Reads: The Matchmaker's Gift
2023-07-23 19:00 - 20:30
The Matchmaker’s Gift
by Lynda Cohen Loignon
Sunday, July 23 at 7:00 PM via Zoom
Even as a child in 1910, Sara Glikman knows her gift: she is a maker of matches and a seeker of soulmates. But among the pushcart-crowded streets of New York’s Lower East Side, Sara’s vocation is dominated by devout older men―men who see a talented female matchmaker as a dangerous threat to their traditions and livelihood. After making matches in secret for more than a decade, Sara must fight to take her rightful place among her peers, and to demand the recognition she deserves.
Two generations later, Sara’s granddaughter, Abby, is a successful Manhattan divorce attorney, representing the city’s wealthiest clients. When her beloved Grandma Sara dies, Abby inherits her collection of handwritten journals recording the details of Sara’s matches. But among the faded volumes, Abby finds more questions than answers. Why did Abby’s grandmother leave this library to her and what did she hope Abby would discover within its pages? Why does the work Abby once found so compelling suddenly feel inconsequential and flawed? Is Abby willing to sacrifice the career she’s worked so hard for in order to keep her grandmother’s mysterious promise to a stranger? And is there really such a thing as love at first sight?

Sisterhood Mitzvah Project: Cleaning the Temple
2023-08-27 09:00 - 12:00
Sunday, Aug 27 at 9:00 AM
EVERYONE, INCLUDING MEN, ARE WELCOME
PLEASE PARK ON THE STREET TO GIVE OUR NEW DRIVEWAY ADDITIONAL TIME TO HARDEN AND ENTER THROUGH PATIO DOOR

It’s time to get the Temple ready for the High Holidays! As many of you did last year in preparation for the Temple’s 75th celebration, it is hoped you will consider rolling up your sleeves and cleaning again. I have also added some new names to this email. If you can think of anyone I missed, please pass this on. Yes, we have a cleaner, but he does not do the details. Dusting and shining will be the main focus, no heavy or high work. Sunday August 27 starting @ 9AM is the official cleaning day, but if you can’t make it, you can pick a time that fits your schedule. Cleaning should be completed before the beginning of the HH season which begins with Selichot on Sat Sept 9th. Please, let me know if you can help, have a preferred space to clean and if you will be coming on 8/27 or at another time of your choice. Together we can make the Temple shine!
