On Tuesday Morning, 14 January, Winthrop Police Chief Terence M. Delehanty, along with the
deputy police chief, visited Temple Tifereth Israel and toured the building with an eye toward
reviewing its security features and suggesting changes and improvements.
After inspecting the Temple, both outside and inside, Chief Delehanty made several recommendations
for upgrading the facilities, discussed security protocols and recommended security training
classes which are available to religious organizations. The Chief also identified federal and
state grant programs that are providing funding for security upgrades to religious
facilities.
The Temple is planning to follow up on the security review and the recommendations that were
made. As these plans are solidified, the steps being implemented will be reported to the
congregation.
As is usually the case, awareness, common sense and education, rather than fear
and paranoia, are the primary elements of any successful security plan.

Some of our Temple members and some members of the
Jewish communityin 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 your background or ability, you 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.
