Dear Congregants,
If we listen carefully, we can hear the wonderful sounds of our Pre-Nursery and Nursery children delighting at once again being back in their classrooms at Holy Blossom Temple – continuing the outstanding in-person learning experience which we are proud to report ran smoothly and remained open all of last year, despite COVID. And this year our enrolment has increased! We are thrilled to be regarded as a leading Early Childhood Centre in the community.
These youngest participants in Temple life are joined by the children in our Youth Education Centre. Monday night the Schwartz Reisman Atrium was abuzz, as our Senior School JTEM and HABSTY (grade 7-12) gathered for the first time in person in over a year. Students were so excited to be reunited and back inside our beautiful building, to celebrate all the milestones and in-person events (like B’nei Mitzvah celebrations, graduations, birthdays and more) that were missed since we were together. Complete with a photo booth, a Mitzvah station to support the Krinkle Project, interactive games and karaoke, it was a wonderful way for our students to reconnect and kick off a new year! 
The generosity of our congregation in donating to the Annual Campaign 2021– Together enables these programs for our children, as well as the rich variety of services and programs which identify Holy Blossom Temple and have supported our congregation both in-person and online.
And now, with the matching funds provided by three generous families, each dollar contributed to the Annual Campaign will be increased fourfold.
Over the few weeks, since the match was announced in a letter from Rabbi Splansky, dozens of gifts of all sizes have been received – gifts from donors who had not yet supported this year’s Campaign, and further gifts from families who have already given to the Annual Campaign this year.
The support and commitment of our congregation is truly inspiring. Will you join those who have already given?
Thank you,
The Committee
Annual Campaign 2021 – Together
