This Shabbat, we come together to celebrate those who are graduating from our religious education program. These teens have studied and grown in our congregation, and we are so excited to send them off to their next adventure with a service full of music and joy. We’ll see you Friday night at 7:30 for a night you won’t want to miss.

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the death of our beloved Rabbi Emeritus, Sol Greenberg. He was a creative force, with a warm and welcoming heart. He learned to help people get married in ways that insured that many families would maintain our Jewish heritage. He built a wonderful congregation with a joy and gentleness that allowed for the tent to be big and open. He was a mentor to many rabbinic interns and rabbis (including our own).

Funeral Services at Valley Temple Thursday, April 30 at 1:00 p.m. May his memory be for a blessing.

Yesterday, the Valley Temple lived out our values in glorious fashion! We learned about the vital role of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) and worked to help make a difference with our partners at Project Connect. We wrapped gifts to donate, wrote cards, created care packages for homeless children, and tried to make an impact for good. It was a day full of intention and community, with a little bit of fun along the way. So proud of how our school came together to live out our mandate as Jews!
