55+
The 55+ Group at Temple Emunah promotes friendship and bonding among seniors in the community within the framework of a Jewish temple. Our programs include monthly Sunday morning breakfasts with programs of interest or entertainment, trips to interesting places, a 55+ Shabbat, and services to our members including a Break-the-Fast Meal immediately following the shofar blowing ending Yom Kippur.
For membership information, contact Arthur Orenberg at (781) 862-0620 or just come to the next Sunday morning breakfast.

55+ Movie Matinees
Our Movie Matinees were originally conceived of as a way to get together during the winter months, when travel can be iffy at best.

We encourage your input on film selections. We try to screen a variety of films of Jewish interest. Please contact Rose-Billie Canter at (781) 862-6710 with your suggestions, or send an email to us at
55+ Trips
This summer we will visit the Berkshires for a concert at Tanglewood with reserved seats in the Shed. The Sunday concert on August 15th features works by Gershwin, Schuller, and Bernstein. We'll overnight at the Williams Inn and do some site-seeing in the Stockbridge area on Monday. Details are in the flier which can be seen by clicking: here. In the past, this trip was a favorite of many us.
A few photos taken on an earlier Tanglewood trip are below, together with shots from a few other past trips.
