Messages from Co-Chairs
We are delighted to honor Rabbi Amy S. Wallk, PhD for 15 years of leadership at Temple Beth El!
Rabbi Wallk brings wisdom and grace to her pulpit. She elevates our community through her creative leadership, and bold and articulate voice in matters of importance. Countless individuals and groups have gained insights from her teaching and found comfort in her spiritual guidance. We are so grateful and fortunate!
Please join us in honoring Rabbi Wallk by making a special gift to Temple Beth El in support of her initiatives. We will create a virtual ad journal where you can express your congratulations. We hope to raise $75,000 in Rabbi’s honor. Your support will ensure that together we are able to enjoy a creative, thriving, and robust Jewish community, inspired by Rabbi Wallk’s “good Torah.”
Your gift supports Rabbi’s initiative to keep us connected, online and in person:
- to world events through timely speakers,
- to each other through daily minyan,
- to Jewish thinkers throughout the world.
Your gift supports Rabbi’s effort to create a learning community:
- teaching Torah at Shabbat services and Melton and Hartman classes,
- learning from each other in Wise Aging and Cuppa Joe,
- bringing us superb teachers including Rachel Korazim,
- Donniel Hartman, and Yossi Klein Halevi.
Your gift supports Rabbi’s vision of creating a spiritual community, where together we’ll face our challenges and celebrate our blessings:
- by helping us through periods of grief through Jewish traditions and acts of chesed,
- by guiding us through births, b’nai mitzvah, and weddings,
- by discovering opportunities for tzedakah and tikkun olam,
- by using the beauty of music to add dimension to our prayer.
With Rabbi Wallk’s leadership, and with us as partners in these endeavors, our congregation will continue to thrive. Even as the world changes around us, we are adapting and reinventing, with the guidance of a trusted leader whom we can all call “my Rabbi.”
Thank you for your generous support, and we hope to see you on Sunday, August 28th.
