SUMMARY:OCMV Congregational Event (with lunch)
DESCRIPTION:Getting to Know You\, Getting to Know Us: Cultivating Community in Times of Change \nSunday\, November 9\, 12:15–2:45 pm \nOur first congregation-wide event kicks off this year’s theme: navigating life’s thresholds—both personal and communal. This event is an opportunity to have lunch and get to know some of Beth Emet’s new and familiar faces. \nWe stand at a threshold together\, with the retirement of several long-time staff members and in the midst of a search for our new senior rabbi. Several new staff joined Beth Emet this summer. At this event\, we’ll kick off our year of “Thresholds” programming with an interactive event designed to get to know these amazing members of our staff: \nExecutive Director Allan Bogan\, Director of Lifelong Learning Lauren Reeves\, Director of Community Engagement Debbie Siegel-Acevedo\, and the newly-positioned Director of Operations and Technology Pierce Boydbagby. They’re eager to get to know you\, too! (Note: Emmie Weprin\, Director of Youth Engagement\, will be busy leading a teen activity elsewhere in the building.) Our Board’s officers will be serving as “guides” at the event and will be available for conversation as well. \nEnjoy a buffet lunch\, then visit creative “get-to-know-you” stations: \n\nAllan Bogan – Let’s Dance!\nLauren Reeves – Community Art Project\nDebbie Siegel-Acevedo – Write Your 6-Word Jewish Memoir\nPierce Boydbagby – Our Building Is Holy Space\n\nWe’ll close with music\, opening the geniza*\, a raffle\, and more! \n*What’s this? A place to respectfully dispose of sacred objects and books. If you have something that needs burial\, bring it that day and you’ll learn where our Beth Emet  geniza is! \nThe event is free\, but registration is required: \nMember Registration \nIf you’re new to Beth Emet\, this is a wonderful opportunity to immerse together in our Beth Emet community. If you’ve been a member for a while\, this is a chance to see your Beth Emet friends\,  and it’s a great occasion to meet our new members. \nWe’ll continue to explore the Thresholds theme throughout the year in small “salon groups.” If you’d like to participate in the salons and aren’t already a part of a group\, please contact ManyVoices@bethemet.org.
