Belief in our future. Faith in our temple.
Thanks to the commitment and generosity of the Temple Emanuel community, the 100th Anniversary Campaign for the Generations raised over $2.1 million, exceeding its fundraising goal. More than 450 families participated in this once-in-a-generation initiative to strengthen our congregation’s future and ensure we endure as the heart of Jewish life in the Merrimack Valley.
Funds raised will support Temple Emanuel’s long-term endowment for the future, enable needed building upkeep and renovations, and expand our lifelong learning and engagement programs.
Campaign gifts in excess of $1,800 will be acknowledged on a beautiful donor recognition wall, currently in development, that will be placed in our lobby near the entrance to the sanctuary. Updates on the dedication of the donor wall and named spaces throughout the building will be forthcoming.
A heartfelt thank you to all who participated in this community-wide effort. What a wonderful way to celebrate 100 years of our congregation and ensure the important work of our synagogue—and the values we hold dear—will continue for our children, our grandchildren and generations beyond.
Thank you to our generous donors.
