    Here is the updated text for the Social Action section: If you’d rather I put it in a word document let me know…

    Social Action
    The Social Action Committee leads Temple Shalom’s commitment to “pursuing justice and working together to create a better world” as it is central to who we are as individuals and as a community (Union for Reform Judaism.) This includes feeding the hungry, helping the disadvantaged, and raising our communal voices against social or economic injustice wherever they occur: in our community, state, nation, or world. Our outreach efforts provide invaluable physical, emotional, intellectual, and ethical sustenance for all involved.
    Many of our Temple’s activities have made a significant difference in the lives of families in our community. Our recent projects have included:
    Backpack Buddies weekend food for school children
    High Holiday Food Drive helping to restock 3 local food pantries
    Gan Tikvah, our Garden of Hope, maintained together with Temple Beth Ahm, providing fresh vegetables to the Matawan United Methodist Church’s food pantry
    Mitzvah Day
    Martin Luther King Joint weekend services with the choirs from Temple Shalom and The New Light Baptist Church
    Beach clean-up
    Sneaker collection/recycling
    Joint presentation with Caring Committee on Human Trafficking
    Furthermore, as we look to the next decade, we have signed a Brit Olam with the Union for Reform Judaism—a covenant for justice for congregations to step into deeper, more systemic social justice work. We plan to actively address inequalities among one or more issue cohorts: racial justice, immigrant rights, women’s reproductive rights, environmental justice, and gun reform.
    Your participation is always welcome.  We encourage all temple members to reach out and share your ideas and passions with us. You are invited to attend any or all of the programs to make the world a better place for everyone. Please email Rachel MacAulay for more information.

    Updated Text:

    Ways and Means
    The Ways and Means Committee is committed to raising funds for necessary congregational purposes that do not include membership dues, building fund fees or other assessments. Here at Temple Shalom we believe that we can best achieve this goal by sponsoring events, activities and community programs that are relevant to our temple members and community neighbors.
    Our committee reaches out to volunteer members of our congregation who have a passion for a particular area or who have an expertise and asks them to “help us make this fundraiser a real success”.

  11. Jessica Sammut on October 27, 2019 at 4:28 pm

    Yes, that was the intention. All current images are FPO. Please indicate which images in the resource folder represent each group/committee/subject



  17. Shea Baker on October 28, 2019 at 7:07 pm

    Yes, all updated posts can be imported from the live site before launch. New posts should be added as needed and will populate here, the homepage and news if categorized correctly.



  18. Shea Baker on October 29, 2019 at 12:59 pm

    This has been updated.



  19. Shea Baker on October 29, 2019 at 1:00 pm

    This has been updated.



  20. Shea Baker on October 29, 2019 at 1:05 pm

    The order has been updated.



  21. Shea Baker on October 29, 2019 at 1:11 pm

    This update has been made.



  22. Jessica Sammut on October 29, 2019 at 4:15 pm

    Actually I just added a more up to date, from the committee chair, version. It’s in the google file.

    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ceCs-_iHU9Z5-acWrG3aHawsWZR9DQPwfwwscv2ryFM/edit#



  23. Jessica Sammut on October 29, 2019 at 4:18 pm

    please add the calendar that is in the google file to this page as a clickable link

    https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/10FHmp_MZug0TejYcAN1wksophreCllBb



  24. Jessica Sammut on October 31, 2019 at 7:46 pm

    Can we change the color of "drop down" menus to the light blue that’s near the bottom of the page? I’m not loving the purple…



  25. Jessica Sammut on October 31, 2019 at 8:12 pm

    Definitely NEED Karen to review this page!!



  26. Jessica Sammut on October 31, 2019 at 8:17 pm

    Definitely want pictures on this page…carousel of ones from membership events maybe?



  27. Jessica Sammut on October 31, 2019 at 9:12 pm

    Under About it says Life Events but on the actual page it says Lifecycle Events…I can’t figure out where to change the dropdown menu text, so can you please change that to say "Lifecycle Events"



  28. Jessica Sammut on November 1, 2019 at 7:54 pm

    Added the new text, would like to see this page not look so wordy, maybe break it up with pictures?



  29. Jessica Sammut on November 1, 2019 at 7:55 pm

    Would the Calendar still be used? Or just link back to the beautiful new interactive calendar?



  30. Jessica Sammut on November 1, 2019 at 7:56 pm

    Please imbed the email addresses so these are clickable or it could be just the names that are clickable and get rid of the listed email addresses.



  31. Jessica Sammut on November 1, 2019 at 8:15 pm

    Karen—what do you think of putting a clickable donate link on this page, as well as any other (brotherhood, tosty etc) that have membership dues? Like you have on the WTS page?



  32. Jessica Sammut on November 1, 2019 at 8:24 pm

    There is only camp Shalom NOT Camp Shalom Jr and the others listed here.



  33. Jessica Sammut on November 1, 2019 at 8:25 pm

    I took out Camp Shalom Jr (and it’s link) as we only have Camp Shalom not the other categories…



  34. Jessica Sammut on November 1, 2019 at 8:29 pm

    Camp Shalom is Pre-K – grade 2



  35. Jessica Sammut on November 1, 2019 at 8:30 pm

    I’m not sure where to edit these labels



  36. Jessica Sammut on November 1, 2019 at 8:32 pm

    Links are incorrect to all of these separate categories if I go to the ‘learn more” button, they’re correct in the drop down menu at the top



  37. Jessica Sammut on November 1, 2019 at 8:33 pm

    Classes meet every Sunday, needs to be changed



  38. Jessica Sammut on November 1, 2019 at 8:42 pm

    I don’t know what I touched but I messed up this page…I am so sorry!!!!! All I wanted was to add pre K



  39. Shea Baker on November 6, 2019 at 2:54 pm

    In our recommended Architecture, we recommended saying "Life Events" rather than "lifecycle" because we felt that a lay person would better understand what was being discussed. "lifecycle" was the term used on the previous site, so it was the official page title. That title was displayed by default. We updated to a custom title to avoid the confusion.



  40. Shea Baker on November 6, 2019 at 2:57 pm

    Beaver Builder was deactivated for the page. I just hit to edit with Beaver Builder and all formatting was restored.



  41. Shea Baker on November 6, 2019 at 3:02 pm

    I selected purple as part of the palette and to be the “action” color. As blue would be used an accent throughout, I didn’t want it to be all the “clickable” items as well. You’ll see the buttons are all purple. This creates a pattern and more clarity for the user. As purple also had symbolic meaning in Judaism, we thought it was an appropriate addition. We can change the color to something else, but it will apply everywhere the purple is currently used. Do you have any other thoughts?



  42. Shea Baker on November 6, 2019 at 3:05 pm

    These would be added to the main calendar and pulled as a list from there to display on this page.



  43. Shea Baker on November 6, 2019 at 3:14 pm

    So is the text on the page the final content as desired? We can certainly dress up the layout. We will be adding the calendar of events. Are there "Brotherhood" photos tagged in Drive?



  44. Shea Baker on November 6, 2019 at 3:18 pm

    Place The Events Calendar on this page. No Google Calendar display



  45. Shea Baker on November 6, 2019 at 3:44 pm

    These have been corrected. The button settings are at the bottom of the hover tab at the top of the info banner edit page



  46. Shea Baker on November 6, 2019 at 3:47 pm

    If you click the wrench to edit the module the title is under the general tab of the interactive banner



  47. Shea Baker on November 6, 2019 at 3:50 pm

    Which is banner is this associated with? Religious school? The description can be changed under the hover tab when editing the module



  48. Shea Baker on November 6, 2019 at 3:55 pm

    This has been corrected



  49. Jessica Sammut on November 14, 2019 at 9:31 pm

    thank you!



  50. Karen Rosenberg on November 22, 2019 at 6:23 pm

    Shouldn't this be, Classes meet every Sunday…



  51. Karen Rosenberg on November 22, 2019 at 6:25 pm

    I just commented on this in Religious school. OK. Will update text.



  52. Jessica Sammut on November 22, 2019 at 6:25 pm

    YES! Pre-K – 2 meets twice a month but 3-7 is every Sunday.
    Please fix. 🙂



  53. Jessica Sammut on November 22, 2019 at 6:26 pm

    Also, I think it should spell out "twice a month" not 2 times a month under camp shalom.



  54. Karen Rosenberg on November 22, 2019 at 6:41 pm

    Jessica, we should have photos on this page. They have the most fun!
    We should also put in the class times. I know Hebrew High is Mondays. Is post confirm the same? Is this where Nfty stuff should go???



  55. Jessica Sammut on November 23, 2019 at 6:22 pm

    I added pics of both Jenn and Gale but probably need to edit their placement to be in line with Cantor and Rabbi's pictures.



  56. Karen Rosenberg on November 24, 2019 at 8:07 pm

    DONE



  57. Shea Baker on November 25, 2019 at 8:01 pm

    Added some drivers to guide users to what they might be interested in next. Ok? Any other changes to this page needed at this time?



  58. Shea Baker on November 25, 2019 at 8:18 pm

    Updated layout. Added actionable buttons.
    Have folder of images, will process for carousel and post when ready



  59. Shea Baker on November 25, 2019 at 8:34 pm

    Assuming all content is now updated and correct?
    Will review latest images to add additional visuals



  60. Shea Baker on November 25, 2019 at 8:35 pm

    Has this been addressed?



  61. Jessica Sammut on November 26, 2019 at 7:40 pm

    Yes, the calendar has been updated with most events through July 1



  62. Jessica Sammut on November 26, 2019 at 8:34 pm

    Yes, text is final. Can you bring the last paragraph up to be above the photo carousel? Also, can the names of officers be clickable links with their email addresses? (in google docs text)



  63. Shea Baker on November 27, 2019 at 2:15 am

    We should not be publishing email address – leads to tons of spam and is not trackable. The form placed on this page will route to each officers email if that is what the user wishes. See “Please Connect me with” drop down.

    I did not want to put the photos at the bottom as they get ignored and don’t add to the story. Intention was to end layout with an action.



  64. Shea Baker on December 1, 2019 at 8:07 pm

    See images have changed – is this complete?



  65. Jessica Sammut on December 1, 2019 at 9:04 pm

    Yes….looks good!



  66. Jessica Sammut on December 1, 2019 at 9:07 pm

    Yes, these images are good to go. 🙂



  67. Jessica Sammut on December 1, 2019 at 9:09 pm

    Ok…sounds good. Thanks!



  68. Jessica Sammut on December 1, 2019 at 9:34 pm

    This page has Confirmation Program highlighted to click to a different page but it doesn’t take you to a page specifically for Confirmation…



  69. Jessica Sammut on December 1, 2019 at 9:37 pm

    Actually it does…BUT on the dropdown menu for Education we say Hebrew High (8-10) and then we have Post Confirmation (11-12). That is in fact TRUE but we separate out Confirmation Program on both the "home" education page and the Hebrew High page…
    To clarify, Hebrew High is grades 8-10, the confirmation program is during the 10th grade year. Post Confirmation is for 11-12 grades…. This probably should be designed simpler, concise…as part of the new design ideas…



  70. Jessica Sammut on December 1, 2019 at 9:55 pm

    Just clicked on the donate button on this specific page which was a search results page and it sent me to a page with an error code saying the email address for the paypal account was incorrect. Paypal link works on the donate page but not this one where it's a side bar



  71. Jessica Sammut on December 1, 2019 at 10:31 pm

    Hooray! Figured out how to post the Shabbat Greetings and put them in different places on the website. Yay!



  72. Shea Baker on December 2, 2019 at 2:02 am

    I may have this wrong, but when I read the content originally, I assumed that High School = Confirmation; that 8-10 would be studying this topic. That’s why the navigation was set up the way it was.

    If the confirmation program is in fact separate, then we should clarify that point. However, if they are the same – all content should be consolidated here. And the links to a confirmation page should be eliminated.



  73. Shea Baker on December 2, 2019 at 2:26 am

    Is there any additional information about this event? Anywhere to link to?



  74. Shea Baker on December 2, 2019 at 2:28 am


  75. Shea Baker on December 2, 2019 at 2:35 am

    We’ll edit the search results template. A donate form is probably not appropriate here.



  76. Karen Rosenberg on December 2, 2019 at 5:04 pm

    yes, you can link to calendar. You’ll need to show me how to do that.



  77. Karen Rosenberg on December 2, 2019 at 6:21 pm

    done!



  78. Shea Baker on December 4, 2019 at 7:07 pm

    To edit the button, go to the "Hover" tab and scroll all the way to the bottom, there’s Edit button settings – you can add there
