East End Temple Everywhere

Experience

Alas, we cannot meet in-person during this time of public health needs. But we can connect via Facebook, Livestream, and Zoom. Here are a list of upcoming programs, which we will update each week, until we can see each other face-to-face. We look forward to staying connected and would welcome you to invite family, friends, and colleagues to join us, as well.

In order to stay connected online, you may need to use new technology. Here's how you can join Facebook, so that you can watch our East End Temple Facebook Live content. To join a Zoom event, simply click the "Zoom Meeting Link" for that event and follow the prompts to start video and audio (and if you need help, here's a handy PDF).

We also invite you to volunteer your time and talents. You can click here to learn more about these opportunities. Since our community has been unable to hold Food for Families, we also invite you to donate to City Harvest and support those in immediate need of sustenance. Need employment assistance? Here's the latest update from UJA-Federation's Educational Alliance Career Assistance program.

Pre- and Post-Shabbat Service Schmooze!

Miss chatting with those you know (and those you don't yet know!) before and after services? This week, we are going to open breakout rooms and allow people to chat with each other before, and then again after, services for about a half-hour. We will randomly assign participants into breakout rooms for small-group chat, and then switch about halfway through, so you're presented with new faces to interact with.

The pre-service chat will take place from 5:30pm, and then you can switch to the Zoom meeting link for services (these will be different Zoom links).
Pre-Service Chat (5:30-6:10pm)

The post-service chat will take place immediately after services end and run for another half-hour, using the same Zoom link as the service (see the listing below for the service link). You can join in by video (laptop or desktop computer, iPad or tablet, smartphone, etc) or you can call in without video and participate! Virtual Ushers will be available for questions and assistance if needed.
