🎉 Help Us Make TAE Creates Laughter a Night to Remember! 🎭
Temple Adat Elohim’s biggest fundraiser of the year, TAE Creates Laughter, is happening on June 7, 2025, and we need your support to make it a success!
This year, we are striving to raise funds to cover the cost of our ECC playground safety upgrade. This essential upgrade will create a safe, modern, and enriching environment where young children can learn, grow, and thrive.
The new playground will:
✔ Meet modern safety and ADA compliance standards
✔ Use non-toxic, impact-resistant, and weather-resistant materials
✔ Promote physical activity, motor skill development, social interaction, teamwork, and creative play
We are currently collecting donations for our silent and live auctions, and we’re looking for a wide variety of items that will appeal to all ages and interests. Whether you’re able to give something big or small, every donation makes a difference and helps us create an exciting, engaging, and fun evening for our community.
Suggested Auction Donations Include:
🛍️ Gift cards to local businesses or restaurants
🍷 Wine or curated wine baskets
🏖️ Vacation homes, time shares, or weekend getaways
🎟️ Sports and concert tickets
💆♀️ Spa treatments, massages, or wellness services
🏋️♀️ Fitness classes or gym memberships
🎨 Art pieces or handmade goods
🍽️ Private chef dinners or cooking classes
🧺 Themed gift baskets
✨ Unique experiences or behind-the-scenes tours
Be creative! We’re building an auction with items at all price points so there’s something fun for everyone to bid on.
👉 To donate an item or ask questions, please contact Joni Berger at (805) 377-3576.
Let’s come together, give generously, and make this our best event yet! 🙌💖

Nov 8, 2024 | Temple Event
We’re excited to introduce an initiative that brings TAE partners closer together, fostering community right in the comfort of our own neighborhoods. This new program, “Neighbor to Neighbor,” is designed to help TAE partners create meaningful relationships with others who live nearby, offering a chance to connect, share, and support one another on a more personal level.
What Is Neighbor to Neighbor?
Imagine getting to know the faces behind the names you might see at services or community events. Neighbor to Neighbor allows TAE partners to meet informally in small gatherings hosted by fellow TAE partners. These gatherings are a space to get to know eachother, form new connections, and strengthen the bonds that make our temple community special. Whether you’re new to TAE or a familiar face, everyone is encouraged to participate!
How You Can Get Involved
To kick off this initiative, we are looking for temple partners who would be interested in hosting these small gatherings. As a host, you’ll provide a welcoming space, whether in your living room, backyard, or even a nearby park, for those who live close to you.
Interested in Hosting or Learning More?
If you are interested in hosting or if you have questions about what it entails, we’d love to chat! Please reach out to Leean Nemeroff by Wednesday, November 20, 2024, to express your interest or get answers to any questions you may have.
Why Participate in Neighbor to Neighbor?
- Build Connections: Strengthen relationships with fellow TAE partners in your area.
- Create Community: Contribute to a supportive, close-knit community where everyone feels valued.
- Share and Learn: Exchange experiences, ideas, and resources, enriching our collective TAE community.
Let’s make our TAE community even stronger, one neighborhood at a time. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing the connections that will blossom through Neighbor to Neighbor!
