Dear Families,

B'ruchim Haba'im! Welcome to the Temple Ner Tamid Religious School. We are looking forward to another enriching, exhilarating and exciting year. Your active participation and commitment to your child(ren)'s Jewish Education are a vital part of the success of our school.

The faculty and I are looking forward to the education of your children. Our objective is to convey a love of Judaism and help each student develop a strong sense of Jewish identity. We prepare our students to become future Jewish leaders by instilling in them a lifelong commitment to Torah and its teachings. The focus of the school is in-depth study of curriculum and family education. We work with parents to provide positive Jewish learning experiences for everyone.

There will be many exciting and creative programs throughout the school year in addition to our regular curriculum. We hope that you will join us in a successful year. If you have any questions or comments throughout the year, please call me at 978-532-1293 or e-mail at juliezcohen@comcast.net

B'Shalom,
Julie Cohen

Questions? Contact: Youth Director Sue Callum or Youth Committee Chairman Dave Goldberg. We look forward to speaking with you!

The Temple Ner Tamid "family" is a term that expresses the way many of us in the congregation feel. Regardless of age or marital status, those who have been active in the synagogue feel that many of the other active members have become a part of their lives.

This is not a cold, impersonal, "cathedral" synagogue. I know by face, if not by name, the vast majority of our congregation, including children and adolescents. How many rabbis can make that claim?

At a time when so many Jews have become distanced from their roots, this is a place where all Jews can find acceptance and comfort, no matter what their level of Jewish learning or observance. I believe that when Jews affiliate they become more aware, more sensitive, more alive. They feel supported emotionally and intellectually. I have seen it happen many times.

I hope that you will visit our synagogue – and please introduce yourself to me when you come, When you feel the warmth here, I am sure that you will want to join our family.
