The Temple Israel congregation invites the community to join the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the new temple building on Sunday, July 26, at noon, at Temple Israel. 
“Ten years ago, the doors of a beautiful new synagogue opened in Vestal – and a decade of memories, growth and connection began,” said organizers of the event. “This July, Temple Israel invites everyone to come together to mark that milestone in the warmth and spirit it deserves. The 10th Anniversary Celebration is open to all, and the congregation hopes to fill the day with familiar faces, new friends and a shared sense of gratitude for everything that the building – and the community within it – has come to represent.”
The day’s program will include a commemorative march to bring participants together before a sanctuary program reflecting on the past 10 years. The afternoon will continue with a barbecue, raffle baskets and a 50/50 raffle.
“We hope you’ll join us – not just to look back on how far we’ve come, but to celebrate the people who made it all possible,” said organizers of the event. “Every friendship forged, every service shared, every life-cycle moment celebrated within these walls has woven together something truly special. We’d love nothing more than to share this day with you.”
Those planning to attend are asked to RSVP by Friday, July 10, by e-mailing office@templeisraelvestal.org or calling the temple office at 607-723-7461.
