Blintzapalooza
2019 Blintzapalooza
Our 31st Annual Blintzapalooza is on Sunday, March 31st from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. All are welcome! This event is open to the public. Cash and check only. No RSVP required. Please join us for this amazing fundraising event!
Blintzapalooza is TBH’s beloved annual community fundraiser. Each year, thousands of people come through the temple doors to purchase bagels, blintzes, and books. Usually on the last Sunday in March, Blintzapalooza is one of the ways that TBH fulfills the Jewish value of tzedakah, or charitable giving. Through tzedakah we work to create justice and fairness in our world and make Olympia a better place for all who live here.

All of the proceeds from the event benefit local nonprofit organizations. Since 1988, you have helped raise approximately $150,000 for nearly 50 projects and programs at 30 different local organizations doing good work in our community.
Coming soon for 2019 --- Last year the proceeds benefitted the three local organizations listed below.
Bridge Music Project pairs creative music professionals with youth, especially traumatized youth, and through mentoring them in song writing, equips them with tools for self-expression and understanding that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. It has proven very successful both in its human care mission and its creative one.
The Olympia Free Clinic provides medical care, specialty clinics and mental health services at NO COST to adults who are underinsured and uninsured. This includes homeless as well as low income persons.
Concern For Animals assists those struggling financially with pets in need of food, medical care and spay/neuter procedures. For many homeless, their pet is their only loving relationship and pets keep them tethered to some piece of sanity in a frightening world. This organization helps keep these animals fed and healthy.

This is a required training, and is for people who have not yet attended a full training, or those who want a refresher. Please contact the office if you have any questions. -

What is a Taste of Mussar A 4-session course developed by the Mussar Institute that introduces you to the thousand year-old body of Jewish teachings and practices that provides distinctively Jewish answers to the questions we all ask about life. Mussar is a practice for the soul on its journey in this lifetime. Course Description We will work on four themes to introduce the Mussar practice. Using readings from the teachings of the Mussar Masters, we will introduce practices which touch the soul, and ask questions for reflection that expand and deepen your life and soul experiences. We will study Humility (Anavah), the foundational trait for all spiritual development and Enthusiasm (Zerizut), the soul trait that motivates us to activate our lives by deeds. You will discover and explore your own unique spiritual curriculum.
