Beth Boruk Temple
Message from our President
Welcome to the Year 5785
September 2024
We are just days away from the annual Temple picnic. That event usually launches our year with time to be together again. We look forward to seeing friends, meeting our new student rabbi, and seeing how those little ones have grown over the summer. We also anticipate sharing food at conversation at Teri’s farm. Jewish life in Richmond, Indiana presents us with these opportunities.
We feel the start of this new year in other ways. We approach it with so much gratitude that Gretchen Johnson will be learning with us and leading us this year. Over the past 50 plus years Beth Boruk has been fortunate enough to know many student rabbis. Typically we are matched with the “best of the best”. We understand that has happened again.
May we continue to look forward to gathering together, living into our Jewish lives, and meeting new friends along the way.
Larry Simkin, Beth Boruk Temple Board president
L’Shana h Tovah,
