Save the Date: Rabbi Foster's Installation Weekend January 24-26, 2025

Let’s make it official and celebrate Rabbi Foster’s installation as Senior Rabbi!

The Transition Committee has planned a weekend of fun-filled festivities so that everyone in our community can share in this wonderful moment.

Support Family Promise Week - December 15-22

TKE looks forward to hosting three families through the Family Promise program from Sunday, December 15, through Sunday, December 22. We can’t do it without YOUR help to make their week cheerful! Volunteers are needed to help with set-up, cooking meals, and staying overnight (training required to interact with the families). Make this week more meaningful for our guests and for yourself and join us for this important volunteer opportunity!


                    

End of Year Giving

As the days grow shorter and the calendar year comes to a close, we bring out our chanukiyot (menorahs for Chanukah) or buy new ones, we make plans with family and friends, and we gather to celebrate the Festival of Light. Chanukah reminds us of the meaning of community – to come together to share good food and play games, sing songs, to tell stories and make new memories.

This is a time to remember our TKE community and be grateful for all that it provides for each of us. Thank you for your support as we ensure that opportunities to gather, pray, learn, commune, and grow together continue into the coming year. 

 

Sponsor an Oneg at TKE!

Celebrate someone or something special in your life - a milestone birthday or anniversary, a new baby, or a proud accomplishment - with your TKE family. Your sponsorship demonstrates your love for your family and provides invaluable support of TKE. Your sponsorship will be listed in the Tekiah (our weekly e-blast) and in the printed Shabbat program.
