Temple Emanuel completes, dedicates building expansion
|
With a snip of Paul Bunyan-size scissors, a blue ribbon was cut and the remodeled Temple Emanuel of Tempe was officially in business during dedication ceremonies May 4.
The 550-family Reform congregation celebrated the completion of the $2.5 million construction project, which added about 10,000 square feet to the building's previous 13,394.
The first phase of construction - which encompassed the remodeling of six classrooms, hallways and restrooms - began in the summer of 2006, and congregants, staff and clergy alike expressed gladness that the disruption was over and the new facility was the result.
"Is this really our building?" asked Rabbi Andrew Straus, the congregation's spiritual leader.

Kivel conducting studies
|
|
|
The Kivel Campus of Care is in the midst of a feasibility study to determine what the Valley's Jewish community is seeking in a senior facility.
Although the Kivel Care Center, Kivel's nursing home, closed on April 11, 29 residents remain in the assisted-living facility and 245 residents in the independent apartments at Kivel's current location at 3020 N. 36th St. in Phoenix.
The study is being conducted for a future location in the Northeast Valley, scheduled for occupancy in 2012.

I hate to say it, but Mother knows best
|
|
|
When my grandmother became a widow in the early '70s, she stayed that way. Never dated, never remarried. When my mother became a divorcee in the late '90s, she jumped on JDate.com and into the world of cyber-dating.
When I was in my early 20s I made the decision that I wanted to end up with someone Jewish - thus I joined JDate as well. So there we were, two women of vastly different generations searching for our perfect Jewish man - on the Internet.
