2009 ANNUAL GIVING CAMPAIGN
Congregation Emanu-El extends thanks to Jay Costello and his
staff at Hill & Co. Real Estate for the generous use of their Lombard
Street offices during our Annual Campaign phon-a-thons.
We would also like to thank our members who helped us during
each phon-a-thon.
Dollars from the Annual Giving Campaign are essential to Emanu-
El, especially during these challenging economic times. They help
us bridge the gap between the Temple's actual operating costs,
and revenue we receive from dues and other fees.
Thank you again to all our supporters!
Online Donations are Quick, Easy and Secure!
DID YOU SEE "THE DYBBUK"
AT TEMPLE EMANU-EL
IN 1928?
An historian from the University
of California, Santa Barbara is
researching this unique production.
He hopes to interview people
who saw the performance or
participated in the production of
the play.
Letters, diaries, or recorded
personal recollections about the
play would also be of tremendous
interest. Indeed, any first hand knowledge of the play or its effect
on the San Francisco Jewish Community would be immensely
helpful.
Congregation Emanu-El will also add this information to our
archives, so we appreciate your help.
If you can be of any help, please contact:
