We are excited to announce Temple Emanuel’s “Go the Distance” Giving Tuesday 2023 Campaign in honor of retiring Executive Director Leslie Hoffman!

During her time at Temple, Leslie has “gone the distance”  – working with congregants, managing rabbinic transitions, navigating the pandemic, implementing the Life & Legacy program, establishing security protocols, overseeing numerous building projects – making a difference in every facet of synagogue management. What you may not know is that Leslie is a 6-time marathon finisher and has “gone the distance” in more races than she can even remember.  In 2018 she initiated Temple’s first Giving Tuesday campaign which has grown from a $10,000 effort to our major annual fundraising appeal. As she retires this fall, it is only fitting that we honor her by making this year’s campaign our best ever with a goal to raise $75,000 to support Temple’s operating needs.

With 100% participation by our Board of Trustees and senior staff, we are already on our way to meeting our $75,000 goal. Your contribution of any size is extremely meaningful to ensure that Temple Emanuel continues to thrive as a hub of Jewish life for our community. Can we count on you to help us “cross the finish line” with a donation between now and November 28th?
