The synagogue has always been a place of importance in Jewish life. After the destruction of the temple in 70 C.E., the ancient synagogue was a focal point in Judaism, not only a place of worship, but for study, communal meals, public fast, eulogies, and judicial proceedings.

In our lifetimes, our grandparents and parents looked to the synagogue for religious observances, education and for marking life cycle events, both happy and sad. In times of crises for our Jewish people, they look to the synagogue and its clergy for comfort and comradely.

Am I preaching to the choir? Yes I am! You are there. You are helping to keep our synagogue alive and are ensuring that it will be there for us and for the Jews who come after us.

What about your friends? Your neighbors? Can you think of a way to pique their interest in the Cuban Hebrew Congregation – Temple Beth Shmuel? Will you make an attempt to invite one other person to join us for a Shabbat service, program events and volunteer opportunities? The warmth of the CHC/TBS Family is contagious and everyone is made to feel welcome!
