Coming Up Guidelines and Form

Thank you for contributing to Temple Aliyah’s communications. We welcome submissions to Coming Up which shares news and events relevant to our community.  Please read the NEW guidelines below.  If you are already familiar with the guidelines, go directly to the submission form>

Guidelines

General Information

Issues: Coming Up comes out weekly on Thursdays (except on holidays and school vacation days).
Post Frequency: Events may be included in up to 3 consecutive editions of Coming Up, as long as the final posting appears before the event date or registration deadline, whichever comes first.
Submissions:  All submissions are subject to editing for length and clarity.  Publication is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of the editorial team.
Deadline: Submissions are due by Monday at 6:00 PM for inclusion in that week’s issue.

Important Note About Deadlines: Our newsletter editors are generous volunteers who handle editing, formatting, uploading, image resizing and more. To support their efforts and ensure timely publication, please respect the submission deadlines listed above. Submissions received after the deadline are unlikely to be included.

Event Listings

  • Event listings include the headline, dates, location, and a brief description.  Event listings no longer include images.  See sample entries.
    • Include the sponsoring group if relevant (i.e., Sisterhood, Temple Tots, etc.) in your headline. For example, “Join Us for Temple Tots’ Musical Jamboree!
  • Keep your post text brief—280 characters or less
    • If you need to share additional detailed information, please create a flyer or Word document that will be linked from your short entry.  This can be uploaded when submitting your form below
  • Save-the-Date: For events taking place more than 4 weeks after the current Coming Up issue, you may submit a one-line Save-the-Date that includes the event title, date, and time. Once the event gets closer, please submit an event listing following the instructions above.

TA News and Highlights Section

  • This section features recaps of recent TA programs and events, as well as member highlights. We welcome submissions, including photos, that showcase memorable moments, volunteer activities, or event recaps within our community. If you have something to share, we’d love to include it!
  • Up to 4 entries are reserved for this section including important announcements at the discretion of the TA leadership and office.  
  • Posting Format: Each submission includes a headline, a brief description (up to 280 characters), a photo or image, and an optional longer article (up to one page). The longer article will be linked in the newsletter as a PDF or as a post on the TA website.
