Beth Boruk Temple
Message from our President
Welcome to the Year 5786
SEPTEMBER 2025
BETH BORUK TEMPLE in Richmond, Indiana has enjoyed a long HISTORY. Previously services were held in public buildings or people’s homes prior to the building of the current home on Southeast Parkway. That construction was started 62 years ago.
Some things have changed. In the PRESENT constants have included:
-
Dedication to a Jewish presence in east Central Indiana
-
Commitment to providing worship opportunities in our community
-
Enjoyment and celebration of life in Reform Jewish families
In times as community, challenges have come along. Drawing from our past history, coupled with our loyalty to maintaining our identity in this region, the board has sought ways to bring together talents. This coming year we look forward to collaboration with Andrea Raizen. Andrea is a retired cantor who can join us for leading services on a limited (hopefully more) basis.
May this year be one of community-building, forward-thinking, and growth.
Lawrence M. Simkin
On behalf of Beth Boruk Temple
