OUR STORY

Temple Jeremiah was founded in 1959 by a small group of dedicated people.

As our community began to grow, it was time to welcome a full-time spiritual

leader, Rabbi Allan Tarshish z”l, in 1961. He oversaw tremendous growth

in the congregation, leading us to the purchase of our permanent home on

5.5-acres of land in Northfi eld in 1969. Our current building was built and

opened in July 1972.

On September 9, 1972, we observed our fi rst Rosh HaShanah services in our

own building. Rabbi Tarshish became Rabbi Emeritus in 1975, and Rabbi

Robert D. Schreibman was installed as our Senior Rabbi.

Th e year 2000 brought the retirement of Rabbi Schreibman. Rabbi Paul F.

Cohen came on board in July 2000, ready to lead our Temple into the next

century. By the early 2000’s, Temple Jeremiah had benefi tted from beautiful

renovation projects that brought us the architectural award-winning Joan

and Stanley Golder Chapel, the Robert D. Shreibman Sanctuary and Mitchell

and Valerie Slotnick Social Hall.

In 2010, to honor our 50th Anniversary, Temple Jeremiah fulfi lled the 613th

commandment and wrote our own Torah. For our 60th Anniversary, we

celebrated with many special events throughout the year culminating tonight

with this wonderful 60th Anniversary celebration.

Temple Jeremiah has been, and continues to be, a vibrant congregation

drawing members from over 35 communities. Our membership includes

more than 900 households. We thrive on meeting the spiritual needs of our

members and practicing Tikkun Olam, for the betterment of our world today

and tomorrow. Temple Jeremiah is committed to our future and creating a

community of meaningful connection.

Th ank you for being a member of Temple Jeremiah. Your commitment to

the congregation over the past 60 years and your participation in helping

to make Temple Jeremiah a warm and welcoming community focused on

member connection, inclusiveness, Tikkun Olam, activism, education and

Judaism in whatever form that means to each of our congregants ensures

there is a place at our table for all.

L’Dor v’ Dor, from generation to generation and strength to strength, may

this year be a wonderful blessing to all our members and just a taste of the

sweetness and joy yet to come.

L’Chaim!
