The
Henry Raich Senior Group, named in loving memory of its
founder, Dr. Henry Raich, is an auxilliary arm of Temple
Emanuel formed by the Senior members of our congregation.
The purpose is to support Temple Emanuel through
activities organized by and for the Senior members of the
Temple. Its primary emphasis is on service through
essentially self supporting functions which are always
open to all members of our congregation. Their varied
programming includes discussion groups, book reviews,
hosting festival dinners, Shabbat dinners and breakfasts
throughout the year.
