Shabbat of Gratitude:
Celebrating Our “Leaders and Lifters”
Join us as we honor the many congregants whose time, talent, and heart strengthen our community.
Every strong community is built by people who step forward to help by leading the way or lifting the load, keeping our community thriving.
Please join us for a special Shabbat of Gratitude, a service dedicated to honoring our “Leaders and Lifters,” past and present, who have given their time, talent, and heart to sustain and strengthen our community.
What do we mean by Leaders?
Leaders help guide our path forward and deepen temple engagement by organizing, planning, chairing committees, and stepping up when vision and direction are needed both within our community and beyond our walls.
Who are the Lifters?
Lifters are those who show up repeatedly, often behind the scenes, supporting programs, welcoming others, and ensuring that everything runs smoothly, helping our congregation thrive.
A Shabbat of Gratitude
On this Shabbat, we honor and recognize everyone whose contributions have helped our community grow, serve, and shine. Rabbi Diamond and Cantor Shukiar will offer a special blessing in appreciation and gratitude to our “Leaders and Lifters” for their dedication and lasting impact on our congregational life.
More than anything, this evening is an opportunity to pause, give thanks, and celebrate the spirit of service that makes our synagogue a place of purpose, connection, and belonging.
If you know any former temple partners who were “Leaders or Lifters,” we would love to invite them as well. Please let Susie Guldbeck know at (805) 497-7101 ext. 104.
Please RSVP by May 12 so we can plan accordingly.
