expand their capabilities. Whether you’ve chanted before or not, whether
you’ve led a service before or not, whether you’ve given a D’var before or not:
This is your chance! <>
We would like volunteers in advance for Shabbats during July and August for:

at 8:00 PM.

ANYONE INTERESTED IN BECOMING A BEN/BAT TORAH?

I would be very interested and pleased to meet with anyone who would
like to become an adult Ben or Bat Torah. A Jew becomes a Bar or Bat Mitzvah
just by virtue of turning 13, however, for many of us, that ceremony was not
available or did not hold the same meaning as it would now, as an adult.
Therefore, I would like to extend an invitation to anyone in the congregation
to think about this and to join me in a year of study and spiritual reflection
that will culminate in a ceremony in which the participants will become Ben
or Bat Torah. Please call the office or e-mail me at Rabbitst@norwoodlight.com
if you would like more information or would like to sign up. Meeting times and
dates will be decided upon in order for them to be convenient for all.

Brotherhood News

Ride with us on June 29th, 2008!

Get ready for the Tour de Shuls 2008, the New England Federation of Jewish Men’s
Club’s fundraiser for the Tikvah program at Camp Ramah. On Sunday, June 29, enjoy
your choice of 25, 50 or 75 mile routes; each designed to take you by a number of area
synagogues.

All rides begin and end at Temple Aliyah in Needham. Depending on the length of your ride,
you can then spin along scenic back roads through Dover, Norwood, Sharon, Natick, and Newton. Register to ride for just $54. Or bring your entire family for $100. Since all
proceeds will be going to support the Tikvah program, we encourage each rider to raise an additional $100.

Check your tires. Stretch your quads. Snap on your helmet.

Go to http://www.tourdeshuls.org to learn more about the Tikvah program and the ride,
and (of course) to register.

100th Anniversary

of Temple Shaare Tefilah ! ! !

The 100th Anniversary banner is now over the front door of the Temple
(thanks to the help in hanging from our Nichols Street neighbor at
Home Specialists Inc.).

On April 6, 1908, the Norwood Hebrew Congregation was granted a charter
from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Services were held in various
public buildings, thanks to the goodwill and hospitality of our non-Jewish
neighbors in Norwood.

Land on Washington Street was purchased in 1924 and the new synagogue,
named Temple Shaare Tefilah (Gates of Prayer) opened on Sunday,
August 30, 1925.

Take a look at the Temple history from the time that the Norwood congregation
was first organized.

Temple Shaare Tefilah is one of the oldest synagogues in the greater Boston
area, and has held continuous services for 100 years.
