Qabbalat Shabbat Honoring Ann Abrams

Temple Israel of Boston

After 39 incredible years of dedicated service, our beloved librarian Ann Abrams is retiring. On Friday, June 21, at Qabbalat Shabbat we celebrated this remarkable milestone and honored Ann for her unwavering commitment to our community. We shared stories, celebrated the many ways Ann has impacted our community, and expressed our gratitude.

We also celebrated Ann Abrams by donating books to More Than Words (MTW) in her honor.MTW is a nonprofit social enterprise empowering system-involved young adults to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. From its South End and Waltham bookstores and online through eBay, MTW sells new and gently-used books, while giving its young employees paid jobs and life skills education. “LibraryAnn’s” lifelong engagement with the written word is honored with love with this gift from the “people of the books.”
