Join Temple’s Board of Trustees

Dear Temple Members,

The annual process to recruit members to Temple’s Board of Trustees has just begun, and the Temple B’nai Tikvah Nominations Committee is seeking candidates for the 2024/2025 term.

The Board of Trustees manages all Temple functions including finances, property, and programming. In this regard, the board represents the interests of all Temple members as well as presenting a Reform Jewish presence in our community. The new Board term begins right after the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in June 2024.

For reference, the Board positions and current Trustees are displayed on Temple’s website.

The expectations of board members are:

  1. Attend and participate in the monthly board meetings
  2. Offer your knowledge and skills based on your field of experience
  3. Demonstrate an understanding of Temple’s plans and values
  4. Be prepared to work collaboratively with the other board members
  5. Participate, as appropriate, in Temple’s activities

If you are interested in being considered for the board in general, a specific board position, or wish to obtain more information, please contact either:

Peter Driftmier, Chair of the Nominations Committee at 403-803-6911 or peter.driftmier@gmail.com, or

Michael Tavel Clarke, Temple President at 403-239-4824 or president@bnaitikvah.ca.

Responses are required by March 4, and a one-paragraph biography should accompany requests for prospective candidates.

We look forward to hearing from you!

OUR LITTLE GARDEN BOX NEEDS A GARDENER

Our Temple garden box, located on the west side of the building, is hopeful that
someone will tend to her needs this summer. She has successfully produced
assorted veggies in years past and would like to do so again. She brightens our
lawn and provides a nice little harvest to give away. She could also use a facelift
in the way of a refinishing if someone is able to provide that. If you think that you
can help, please contact Carole Schwartz at caroleaileen@gmail.com or phone
403 686-4129.

Rabbi Glickman at Pecha Kucha

Rabbi Glickman spoke at Pecha Kucha in Calgary.

Pecha Kucha #32 featured 10 speakers giving talks on the theme of the evening over slide shows consisting of 20 slides that show for 20 seconds each. The theme of this Pecha Kucha evening was “Fate.”

Watch Rabbi Glickman’s presentation here:

PKN 32: Fate – Mark Glickman

We asked a rabbi to talk about Fate – he said he had no choice but to say yes, but whether it would be good or not…It's Rabbi Mark Glickman speaking at #PKNYYC 32: Fate at Alberta Theatre Projects!
