President’s Message

Dear Temple Beth Tikvah Family,

It is with both joy and deep humility that I begin my term as president of our Board of Directors.

I’m excited to work alongside such a dedicated and thoughtful group of board members—individuals I admire for their wisdom, warmth, and their ability to stay positive even when the train blocks the street on the way to meetings at the Chemple.

I’m deeply humbled by the presidents and officers who came before me. Their leadership built the foundation for the meaning and connection we now enjoy.

Our goal this year? Nothing too dramatic—just to build an even more inclusive, connected, joy-filled Jewish community. One that welcomes new faces, re-engages familiar ones, and says yes to programming that ranges from soulful services to potlucks where at least three kugels show up (and somehow they’re all good).

We’re also looking for ways for you to get involved in ways that feel right for you—whether you’re leading a program, making sure the grape juice is chilled, or just bringing your ruach. Every act, big or small, matters.

Together, we’ll continue to build something meaningful and lasting—with heart, intention, and just enough chutzpah to try something new (on purpose!).

With warmth, laughter, and deep appreciation,


Ginger Weeden
President, Board of Directors
Temple Beth Tikvah
