Dear Temple Emanuel Community,

As Rabbi Joe Black retires as our Senior Rabbi, we say thank you with deep appreciation for all he has given our congregation. Over the past 15 years, he has led with integrity, compassion, and a clear sense of purpose, helping shape Temple Emanuel into the vibrant community we are today. His music, teachings, and presence have brought meaning to countless moments, and his leadership has guided us through both celebrations and challenges. We are grateful that he and Sue will remain in Denver, and we look forward to his continued presence as Rabbi Emeritus. On behalf of the Board of Trustees and our congregation, thank you, Rabbi Black, for your dedication, partnership, and lasting impact.

L’Shalom,

Wendy Nekritz
President, Board of Trustees
