We cordially invite all newcomers and other Jewish residents of this community to attend our services and social functions, and hope that you will consider applying for membership. Rabbi Harold S. Jaye became the Rabbi of our congregation in May 1987. Rabbi Jaye, a native of Columbus, Ohio, is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati and was ordained in 1970 at the Hebrew Union College. In 1980, he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Brandeis University. He was the cantorial soloist with the Hebrew Union College and serves as Cantor for our synagogue. As spiritual leader, Rabbi Jaye's major responsibility is to bring the message of Judaism to the pulpit and adult education programs. He is active in congregational life and is available for personal counseling of individual members. Services are held every Friday evening at 8:00 p.m., followed by an Oneg Shabbat and the first Saturday of each month from October to May, followed by lunch. We use the Reform Prayer Book (Gates of Prayer) for all worship services. A sincere effort to accommodate the needs of Jews of a wide variety of religious backgrounds is made by our Rabbi Our Temple has a very active Sisterhood which is responsible for much of the progress in past years and continue working on various projects and fund-raisers.
