On behalf of the Officers and Members of Temple Tifereth Israel
in beautiful Winthrop-by-the-Sea, I want to welcome any one who is seeking a friendly, comfortable,
and non-judgmental congregation to join with us for any of the relaxed, and unintimidating services
(see listing) as well as for any other religious, spiritual, or social event.
For anyone interested, we would be more than happy
to provide a tour of the Temple as well as explain all aspects of our Temple life. Please conteact
the Temple at 617-846-1390 or by e-mail at ttiwinthrop@gmail.com to arrange for a visit.
To members and friends of our Temple, if you have not already heard, I
am stepping down as president of the Temple after more than a decade in the office. The Board of
Directors has started the process of looking for candidates for the Temple's offices and will
shortly determine a date for election of new officers. The Board
will keep everyone informed of their progress in this matter and in
addressing other issues that have come to their attention. The immediate need is that of identifying
Temple members willing to volunteer their services. Anyone willing to do so, should contact the Temple,
indicating what time they have available and, if possible, what areas of Temple operation in which
they might be interested in helping.
Mrs. Sandra (Goldstein) Pellegrino
President, Temple Tifereth Israel

On 18 November 2018, the Sunday afternoon before Thanksgiving, the annual
Winthrop Interfaith Thanksgiving Service was held at Temple Tifereth Israel. In addition to participating
in the short service, those attending contributed food and cash donations for the Winthrop
Food Pantry.
Leading the short service were representatives of the various religious
institutions in Winthrop including: Rev. Charles Bourke, St. John the Evangelist Church,
Roman Catholic; Craig Mael, Cantor, Temple Tifereth Israel, Jewish;
Sr. Jane Iannaccone, SP, Pastoral Associate, St John the Evangelist Church, Roman Catholic;
Ron Vechchia, Guest Speaker, Winthrop Town Council President; Sandra Pellegrino, President,
Temple Tiferth Israel, Jewish; Stephen Lee, Music Director, St John the Evangelist Church,
Roman Catholic; Pastor Sunjae Lee, First Church of Winthrop, United Methodist;
Tina Talvi, Cantor, St John the Evangelist Church, Roman Catholic; Rev. Walter Connelly, Rector,
St. John’s Parish, Episcopal.
The event’s guest speaker was Winthrop Town Council President, Ron Vecchia,
who provided a summary of recent progress in the Town and a preview of new planned projects.
Of particular interest was the information provided concerning the town’s ferry service and funds
provided to Winthrop by the airport and the state.
Shown below are the service participants enjoying the plentiful
refreshments served after the service in Temple Tifereth Israel’s main hall.

Some of our Temple members and some members of the Jewish community
in and around Winthrop who are not members of the Temple may have never experienced
their own Bar or Bas Mitzvah. We are offering the opportunity for these people to become Bar or Bas Mitzvah'd.
Your Bar/Bas Mitzvah training will include English and Hebrew and everyone, no matter what their background
or ability, will be able to participate and achieve this wonderful goal.
Contact the Temple at "617-846-1390" for more information. Remember: Everyone
can be a participant, as long as you have the desire. We will accommodate to everyone's abilities, needs
and desires.

Place a leaf on the Tree of Life in the Main Sancutary to support
the Temple while showing your love and affection for dear friends and relatives. Engraved leafs
cost only $180 and there is no more appropriate way to honor loved ones and to celebrate those
special occasions - anniversaries, births, birthdays, etc.
You can order your leaf by providing the Temple with your instructions
for the name and message to be placed on the leaf and sending in your payment. It will normally
take 4 to 5 weeks for your order to be completed.
