FROM RABBI MORRISON
Expressions of Gratitude
Dear Congregational Family,
For all of us, the recent Holy Day season was one we will never forget. While some of us experienced services in shul, many participated via livestream.
I am grateful to all of you, the vast majority of our congregational family, for staying affiliated with our shul.
I am grateful to so many people who stepped forward behind the scenes to secure our needs in terms of safety, technology, ritual, overall administration and so much more.
I am grateful to so many of you who came to hear Shofar outdoors at a number of different venues on Rosh Hashanah.
I am grateful to so many of you who came to hear the Torah read from its ending to its beginning either inside or outside the shul on Simchat Torah.
I am grateful to so many of you who purchased and used every single lulav and etrog set we ordered, fifty in total, during Sukkot.
I am grateful to so many synagogue volunteer leaders who have spent countless hours at meetings and working behind the scenes.
I am grateful to our office and maintenance staff who have kept our shul running during these unprecedented times.
I am grateful to all of you for your understanding, patience, cooperation, and forgiveness when inadvertent mistakes have occurred. Even in the best of times, imperfect people can only do their human best when striving for perfection.
Sadly, the pandemic has not gone away. Our shul is currently open for Shabbat morning services, while daily prayer, study, culture, and socializing take place on line. I encourage us all to find a meaningful way to stay involved. Please check our website regularly for updates. For some of our members who are not computer literate, I implore relatives and friends to share synagogue life with them.
I am proud to serve Beth Emeth. I extend a Yasher Koach to everyone for perpetuating the value, meaning, and relevance of our synagogue.
YAHRZEIT NOTICES Yahrzeit notices will now be going out by email. During the transition (until the end of the calendar year) we will be sending them out by regular mail as well. If you received your notice by mail but not email, please let us know.

OUTREACH COMMUNITY PROJECT We hope to provide access to our livesteam to seniors in our community, as well as retirement residences. If you have working tablets, laptops or can donate airmiles for us to purchase some, please contact the office at 416-633-3838
In our new norm with online Clergy led private services, Divrei Torah, Torah Readings, Cantorial Music, Rabbi Lectures and Classes, you too can also sponsor one of these weekly online live sessions in honour of your Simchas or in memory of your loved ones for a donation of $54.
Your generous sponsorship will be included in the weekly e-blast, as well as mentioned by the clergy at the beginning and end of the online live session you are sponsoring. While we are temporarily closed due to this health crisis, it is imperative we continue to keep our synagogue operating at this time thereby ensuring we are able to once again open our doors to you - our dedicated members, and to the Jewish community when it is viable to do so.
The Executive, Board and Clergy thank you for your continued support during this difficult time. Best wishes for a healthy and safe Shabbat.
