News items about United Hebrew Congregation Terre Haute.
In moment of inspired beneficence, Herschel Chait has purchased custom pens for his United Hebrew Congregation family.
The navy blue pens display the congregation’s name and address in white lettering, feature silver trim and stylus tips and produce a dark blue line, appropriate for writing checks to the United Hebrew Congregation Restoration Fund.
We would like to thank those of you who have already generously contributed to our United Hebrew Congregation Restoration Fund.
But we also have exciting progress to report. Thanks to your contributions and a matching grant from Sacred Places Indiana, we are starting to collect estimates for the first phase of the project to restore our historic synagogue, originally known as Temple Israel.
When United Hebrew Congregation’s Sacred Places team prepared the synagogue’s case statement, we wanted to highlight the contributions of the Terre Haute Jewish business community.
We asked Bill Gilmore to share a memory from the Shultz Store. The following is his story. Enjoy.
Veterans Day holds special significance for Student Rabbi and U.S. Army Capt. Aaron Rozovsky, who served United Hebrew Congregation Terre Haute during the 2016-17 academic year.
Aaron, who has completed deployments in Cuba and Afghanistan, filled the Westminster Village community room last year for a special Veterans Day Shabbat service.
The event’s success invited a repeat performance, and Aaron returned this Veterans Day, in fatigues and camouflage yarmulke, to celebrate Shabbat with the retirement community and guests.
Aaron also took the opportunity to re-connect with his former congregation and conduct evening Shabbat services at Temple Israel. He recently completed two weeks’ active duty in South Carolina and is in his final year at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati.
