Rufina started working at Temple Sholom in 1997!
After 25 years, Rufina is retiring and we thank her for her important work of
caring for and feeding the Temple Sholom community. She is beloved by the
congregation and has helped hundreds of families celebrate important
milestones in their lives like B’nei Mitzvahs, as well as helped everyone enjoy
weekly Shabbats and Jewish holidays all the more. Her famous fruit platters are
now part of the Temple Sholom tradition.
Rufina calls us her family and we look forward to seeing her when we are once
again able to be in the building. She will not be far as her wonderful son Bernie
continues as our cherished custodian. In the meantime, if you wish to send her
your good wishes, please email info@templesholom.ca or call the office at
