Congregation Shaare Emeth’s A.V. Club
The A.V. Club continues to help keep our Congregation connected with wrap-around technological services for members of all ages. The A.V. Club’s support optimizes what Shaare Emeth can achieve inside the temple as well as beyond its walls.
The A.V. club began during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to bolster our live streaming capabilities. Over the years, many initiatives have been technologically supported by the A.V. Club, in collaboration with the Michael Matlof Connection and Communication Fund:
- Streaming religious services with more cameras and improved sound quality.
- Bringing all life cycle events online: B’Mitzvah services, funerals, and weddings are shared with loved ones across the world.
- Improving screens, projectors, and sound engineering in our worship and learning spaces.
- Expanding Zoom capability, allowing us to extend our virtual walls to more people.
- Hosting lively and entertaining programs in a hybrid or online format, like book clubs and Purim spiels, and “bringing” special guests to the Shaare Emeth community from Israel and all over the United States.
- Creating opportunities for digital engagement and accessibility, from weekly Jewish Mindfulness Center Meditation Sits, to Keshet’s LGBTQ+ programming, book talks, and more, fulfilling our commitment to keep learning vibrant and meaningful.
You can help support Shaare Emeth’s commitment to accessibility and connection by becoming a member of our A.V. Club with a $100 annual donation. Donations of all amounts are greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions, please contact Beth Kodner, Director of Development & Membership.
