Solel Night Fever
A Tribute to Our Temple Trailblazers
Temple Solel’s 2026 Gala, “Solel Night Fever: A Tribute to Our Temple Trailblazers,” was an unforgettable evening of celebration, gratitude, and community. Surrounded by friends, family, and congregants, we came together to honor three extraordinary individuals whose leadership, generosity, and dedication have helped shape the spirit and strength of our Temple family.
The evening was filled with joy, heartfelt tributes, and the energy of a community united in appreciation. Thanks to the incredible efforts of our Gala Committee, dedicated volunteers, generous sponsors, and the many members of our congregation who supported the event, the gala was a tremendous success.
Most importantly, we were privileged to recognize three remarkable members of our Temple Solel family — individuals whose contributions have left a lasting impact on our congregation and our community.
We invite you to celebrate them again by viewing their tribute videos below (click their image).
