News and events involving work of the United Hebrew Congregation Terre Haute board.
We would like to thank those of you who have already generously contributed to our United Hebrew Congregation Restoration Fund.
But we also have exciting progress to report. Thanks to your contributions and a matching grant from Sacred Places Indiana, we are starting to collect estimates for the first phase of the project to restore our historic synagogue, originally known as Temple Israel.
United Hebrew Congregation Terre Haute has scheduled a busy series of events, including Shabbat services, Torah studies and the return of a popular Veterans Day program, for October-November 2017.
In addition, UHC has won a capital improvement grant from Sacred Places Indiana!
The Temple board has arranged for Ms. Yana Weinstein to serve as UHC soloist for Erev Rosh Hashanah and Kol Nidre. Ms. Weinstein teaches at Indiana State University and lives in Bloomington.
Torah Study will begin with Student Rabbi Kylynn on Saturday, October 21. Kylynn and the board met in August and discussed expanding the popular Saturday Torah studies to include a second class.
As I write this column, the Congregation has just finished an important rite of spring, the congregational annual meeting. Congratulations to all the board and I hope that UHC members will feel free to contact any of us with your ideas and concerns.
Sadly, we also say goodbye to our student rabbi, Aaron Rozovsky. We wish him well as he finishes up his fifth year of studies.
