We are so pleased to present you with this beautiful depiction of the richness and vibrancy of our congregation. This Annual Report reflects the many programs and opportunities we offer as well as the incredible generosity of our members who donate money, time, and expertise. The years of 2018 and 2019 (5779) saw many landmark moments including the installation of our Rabbis, the renovation of our magnificent building, and the arrival of Cantor Shafritz. We certainly have much for which to be grateful.

Together, we live our Judaism and our Jewish values every day.

The Temple Shalom Annual Report contains information from the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018 and ending June 30, 2019. In addition to highlighting the year’s memorable activities, events, and achievements, this report also shares financial information to enable all members of our community to understand the sources and uses of our annual budget. We hope that you will find this information useful. Please feel free to contact any of us if you have questions.

Running a successful synagogue requires a lot of resources. Our leadership works hard each year to provide high quality spiritual, educational, and social programming for members of all ages, always with an eye toward fiscal responsibility and stewardship. But we need your help as well. Dues, school tuition, and event fees cover only about 83% of our annual operating budget; to close the gap, we rely on income from our Endowment Fund and generous contributions from our members.

As you review the report, we ask you to help us remain vibrant and encourage you to live and give generously. Thank you for all you do for our community.

L’shalom,

Rabbi Laura J. Abrasley & Rabbi Allison BerryCantor Leah ShafritzEllie Klein Goldman, Executive Director Fred Kraus, Temple President (2019-Present)Scott Birnbaum, Temple President (2016-2019)

Our community’s dual commitments to repairing the world, tikkun olam, and to justice, tzedek, inform our priorities. Longtime programs like the Mitzvah Mall (now Family Mitzvah Day), Potatoes and Stuffing, the Brotherhood Blood Drive, Caring Community, and the High Holy Day Food Drive

reflect this dedication to social action. During the 2019 fiscal year, the Tzedek Task Force (formerly the Social Action Committee) focused its community organizing and advocacy efforts on four pressing social issues: Immigrant Justice, Food Justice, Gun Violence, and Transgender Rights.

ALIGNING OUR VALUESAND SHARED VISION

“The Tzedek (Social Justice) Task Force is driven by the concerns and passions of our Temple Shalom community. The work we do is much like the Growing Tree, Eitz Chaim, spreading branches out to shelter and provide support and action when we see a particular need.”

- Carol Berlin and Marion Pollock, Tzedek Co-chairs

ENGAGING AND EDUCATINGOUR YOUNG PEOPLETemple Shalom’s exceptional educational programs not only promote Jewish learning, but also build community. At every age level— Nursery School, Shacharit (grades K-5), Mincha (grades 6-7), and Ma’ariv (grades 8-12)—our programs hum with activity and purpose, providing innovative curricula that deepen

students’ connections to Judaism and the larger world. Outside the classroom, our youngest children gather to worship (Tot Shabbat), sing (Musical Matzoh Balls), and engage in hands-on activities (Little Explorers), while our SHAFTY youth groups provide teens with opportunities for learning, fun, and social impact.

“I spent 15 years searching for the right congregation, starting in Boston and trying every Reform synagogue in an ever-widening radius from the city. When I arrived at Temple Shalom, I knew immediately that I'd found my home. Everyone, from members to staff to clergy, went out of their way to welcome me, my young son, and my non-Jewish spouse in the warmest ways possible. I love seeing my family completely at ease here, and I'm proud to be part of such a progressive, inclusive community.” - Leah Bloom, Temple Member

OUR WELCOMING COMMUNITY

NURTURING OUR VIBRANTADULT COMMUNITY

“For many years, adult education has been one of the most meaningful aspects of my Temple Shalom membership. Whether Me'ah, iEngage Israel, Downtown Study or others, I have enjoyed the intellectual challenges and, as importantly, the opportunity to connect and build community with our members." - Mark Gottesman, Member

Whatever your interest—discussing books, movies, or spirituality; gardening; cooking; playing games; engaging with Israel; or Jewish learning—you will find other people at Temple Shalom who share your passion. From informal clubs for the hobbyist to formal classes for the lifelong learner, Temple Shalom provides a wide

array of opportunities for our adult community. Just want to socialize? Events like the Progressive Dinner, Parents’ Night Out, Sisterhood Fall Fling, Merlot and Midrash, or Margaritas and Megillah offer the chance to connect with old friends and build new relationships.

INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE

“This is a gift I never expected—

this gift of being in a collaborative

partnership. Rabbi Berry and I are

good hevruta partners; we make

each other better.”

- Rabbi Laura J. Abrasley

Over the last year, Temple Shalom has taken important steps to ensure that our congregation remains strong and vibrant. In November 2018, Rabbis Allison Berry and Laura J. Abrasley were installed as our co-Senior Rabbis. Temple Shalom is the first congregation to be co-led by two female rabbis; we are proud of this distinction and are blessed that these strong, dynamic leaders share the rabbinate. Additionally, we undertook major renovations to our entrance, sanctuary, and social hall. Like the selection of our clergy, investment in our building is an investment in our future.

MAKOM KADOSH“We reimagined our makom kodesh—this holy space—in such a way that it would pay homage to our rich history and the founders of this community. At the same time, we looked ahead and considered what our synagogue needed to be relevant not only today, but 20 years from now.” Excerpt from Rabbi Allison Berry’s 2019 Kol Nidre Sermon

The endowment is a professionally managed fund comprised of member donations from which we draw interest each year to enable us to balance the budget. Historically, we have drawn 8-12% of our endowment annually. In May 2019, the Board of Trustees committed to a fiscally responsible 5.5% annual distribution for the following fiscal year and beyond, in order to ensure endowment sustainability long into the future. This means that, going forward, your gifts will play an increasingly crucial role in allowing our thriving community to maintain rich programming and to remain affordable and accessible to all.
