Sponsorships and co-sponsorships are available. Please contact Svetlana Leykin, director of facilities and special events, at (415) 751-2541 x123.



PLEASE KEEP THE CLERGY INFORMED

It is always a pleasure to hear good news from Temple members and to share joys. Often it helps to share problems or illnesses too. Please make it a policy to let us know if you or someone you know might be helped by a visit or a telephone call. Many people assume that "everyone knows," but a note or call to Sandy Barth at the Temple (415)751-2535 will get the message to our clergy.

Each member's celebrations and ritual arrangements are just as important to us as they are to the family. To avoid possible conflicts, please consult with us in order to work out mutually convenient times and dates. Share your News!

EMANU-EL'S HOME OF PEACE CEMETERY IN COLMA

Just as a congregation plans for the needs of its community, so too should individuals plan for their needs and those of their families. The precious memories of departed loved ones inspire many to plan ahead and give their children and children's children a living family memorial in a place of peace and beauty.

Advance of need planning for burial, entombment, or inurnment arrangements at our congregation's Home of Peace Cemetery in Colma is a lasting gift of kindness to all who care about us. It is a wise emotional investment, relieving loved ones of the need to make arrangements while they are suffering the emotional stress of loss and grief.

Making your advance of need arrangements is also considered an important component of sound long term estate planning because costs are fixed at the time of purchase and may be paid over a three year period at no additional fee.

Please call Steve Weiner, director of sales, for an appointment for a personal tour of our congregation's historic cemetery that has been serving the Jewish community of Northern California since 1850. The telephone number at Home of Peace Cemetery is (650) 755 - 4700 or email Steve at sweiner@emanuelsf.org.
