Successful Temple Shalom Emeth Open House

On Sunday, August 29th Temple Shalom Emeth held its annual open house. Over 50 people including many children from Burlington and surrounding communities were treated to learning how to blow the shofar, a rams horn that is blown on the Jewish new year called Rosh Hashanah, a live animal show, an ice cream truck sponsored by Joanna Schlansky, and a great time was had by all. The open house was held to introduce Jewish and partly Jewish families to the Temple community. It is also a time for current temple members to gather and reconnect with one another. The temple community will gather again Tuesday, September 7th during the holiday of Rosh Hashanah for a special shofar blowing in the Temple parking lot. Temple Shalom Emeth is Burlington’s only synagogue. Anyone interested in more information can check out the Temple’s website.
