Temple Beth Israel in Harlingen, Texas, publishes a newsletter several times a year with happenings, events, goings-on, and any type of information that is of importance to the temple and to the community. If you have any news, articles, or any information for publication, please send an email with your article or news request to Laurie Joseph at laurie.b.joseph@gmail.com and she will be more than glad to enter your contribution into the congregational newsletter.
The name of our newsletter, Sim Shalom (שים שלום), comes from a blessing that is recited at the end of the morning prayer Amidah, and it means “Grant Peace.” You can find the complete text here.
