966.0. "Concert to Support Soviet Family" by AKOV12::ISRAELITE () Fri Aug 17 1990 22:46

    On Saturday night, September 15, Rosalie Gerut and Friends will be
    presenting a concert at Congregation Kerem Shalom, in Concord, MA.
    
    Rosalie is our Chazan, sings at many other Temples in the Boston area,
    and is a well known professional musician in her own right.  She has
    written the score for two films and wrote the score for the first
    production of Joseph Papp's Jewish Theatre.  
    
    Her concert, which comprises a wide range of Yiddish and Hebrew
    contemporary and traditional folk music, is for the benefit of the
    Kerem Shalom Relocation Fund, which is now supporting a Soviet family
    which recently emigrated from the Soviet Union.
    
    Tickets are 10.00 and 30.00 (the latter included reserved seating and a
    pre-concert reception).  Call me at 508-263-2236 or send me mail at
    AKOV12::Israelite for more information.

How long has there been a Congregation in Concord?  It has been a well 
kept secret (at least for me).

Is there any general info that can be shared?  I live in Sudbury.

Thanks,

Carl
966.2The opening of this Temple was announced in this notes fileDECSIM::GROSSThe bug stops hereWed Aug 22 1990 22:0015
The synagogue in Concord opened about 1 year ago. In fact, a notice about it
appeared in Bagels. The building is just off route 2 on the north side,
approximately mid way between the intersection of route 62 and the Concord
rotary. The congregation is a few years older than their building. I haven't
been inside, but it looks lovely from the outside.

I only know 2 things about this synagogue. It is Reform and it is the only
known congregation whose dues are higher than the dues at Beth El in Sudbury.

If you would like more information about congregations in the Sudbury area,
let us know or try searching this notes file. They exist in Sudbury (2),
Wayland, Marlborough, Acton, Concord, and Framingham, to mention just the
adjacent communities.

966.3I've talked with officersCASP::SEIDMANAaron SeidmanWed Aug 22 1990 22:3910
  Keren Shalom is not Reform.  It is a liberal, non-affiliated congregation
  whose members range from somewhat traditional to somewhat non-traditional.
  The Jewish community in Concord is not large enought to support multiple
  congregations, so they have attempted to be somewhat eclectic in their
  approach.  It is also the reason that they have avoided formal affiliation.
  
  The Rabbi, Michael Lukens, was trained at the Reconstructionist
  Rabbinical College.

I had a feeling I was supplying misinformation in that regard. Sorry about that.
