Congregational Practices During COVID-19
The Temple Emanu-El Archives strive to reflect congregation and community that it serves. To accomplish that, the Archives collects papers, records, photographs, and materials to document the history of Temple Emanu-El. The ongoing public health crisis due to the spread of COVID-19 has impacted the Temple community and to document this tumultuous time, the Archives is asking you to share your stories and add your voice to our historical record.
You do not have to identify yourself and this survey can be submitted anonymously if you wish. The only required fields are gender, age, and zip code. This is for demographic purposes when entering your survey into the archives record.
We understand that your ideas, thoughts, and opinions may adapt as things around the world and in our community change daily, so you are able to fill out the survey multiple times if you would like. We only ask that you please keep your chosen name consistent and unique so we can track and group your responses.
The Archives also encourages you to keep diaries and journals during this time, write letters to yourself, or document this time in whatever medium is most meaningful to you. We invite you to consider donating a copy of these documents to the Archives in the future.
If you have questions, contact Anjelica Ruiz, Director of Libraries and Archives, at aruiz@tedallas.org.
Thank you for contributing to our congregational history.
