Shana Tova Umetukah! Wishing everyone a sweet, healthy and happy new year! It was so wonderful to see everyone at Rosh Hashanah services last week. We hope to see you at Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur, this Shabbat. We've got a busy schedule ahead, so be sure to check it out below!
Mark your calendar for a special Preschool fundraiser on October 15th, starting at 4:30pm at Round Table Pizza! Grab dinner with your family there, and tell them you're supporting TEPS! It's a great way to enjoy a night out with the family, while supporting Temple Emanu-El's Preschool. We hope to see you there!
Also! Scotch in the Sukkah is on October 17th at 6pm! We'll be tasting a wide variety of scotches, with TASTY BBQ catered dinner, with veggies options available too! Space is limited. Register today! Find all the events here: https://www.templesanjose.org/calendar
