Temple Beth Hatfiloh

Interested in supporting Sanctuary for immigrants at TBH? Sunday, November 18, 12:30 - 2:30 pm Part 1: Those who attended the October 25th training do not need to come to this one, though they are welcome. There will be some changes and some updated documents. Sunday, December 2, 2:00 - 4:00 pm Part 2: This will be a more in-depth training, and we hope that all volunteers will attend, even if they weren’t able to come to Part 1. An RSVP is appreciated, but not required, for both trainings. To RSVP, or for more information, e-mail tbh@bethhatfiloh.org

For a great alternative to shopping on Black Friday, come sew a holiday table runner, or some other holiday item that interests you. Patterns, cutting tools, pins, thread, and other sewing supplies will be available, along with a few sewing machines. If you have your own machine and want to refamiliarize yourself with it, please bring it along, and we will help you out. Jewish-themed fabric available for a $20 material fee. If you bring your own fabric, no charge for the class! You will leave with a finished project (almost guaranteed), and you will have fun with fellow non-shoppers! No RSVP needed.

4th Saturday of every month - The Talmud is a compendium of law and lore that is the basis on which biblical interpretation and contemporary Jewish practice rest. Rabbi Seth will lead us as we dive deep into this complex and fascinating text.

The workshop is open to instrumentalists and vocalists from intermediate through professional levels. We will learn old spiritual and dance melodies by ear in the way klezmer music has traditionally been passed down. We will also learn to phrase, ornament, and accompany the melodies in the Ashkenazic Jewish folk style, and explore modal improvisation using typical Eastern European Jewish motifs and scales. To register, please visit www.bethhatfiloh.org or call (360) 754-8519. The cost is $40 for TBH members and $50 for non-members.

Eleonore Weill (vocals, flutes, accordion, piano, hurdy gurdy) grew up in southern France playing Mediterranean traditional music, Occitane, Romanian and Jewish music. She studied at the Sorbonne University and spent a year studying folk music in Romania.
