We both had good examples from multiple generations of family supporting the synagogue. Janet’s paternal great-great-grandfather was a founding member and former President of Temple Emanuel in Denver, which coincidentally, two generations later, was the same Temple where her mother’s family belonged and where her mother was confirmed, followed in the next generation by her own Confirmation and subsequent wedding. Larry’s parents have been members of Temple Adat Shalom since early in its existence and have always shown support both in deed and substance.

We feel that if our ancestors had the foresight to build and maintain Temples for us to use, it is our obligation to leave that same legacy for future generations.
