Join us for our July Shabbat Salon@Home! This will feature guest speaker Marc Brenman. He will be presenting on “Neo-Nazis and Extreme Rightwing Groups in the US.”
While we can not be physically together, we can still share in food and conversation at the TBH Shabbat Salon. Dinner provided by Nineveh is available for pre-order, and you can pick it up at TBH on Friday afternoon. Erev Shabbat services will be at 6:00 pm, after which we can eat together and hear from our featured presenters. Speaker begins at 7:00 pm. You do not need to purchase a meal to attend, please join for all or part. Consider being a “Salon Sponsor” for $100. Includes 2 meals, challah, and bottle of wine.
Note: - Meals will be vegetarian and come complete and pre-packaged - While the meal is still subsidized, because of some increased costs, we will need to apply a “pandemic surcharge” to the cost of the meals, each will be $18. - Meals will be available for pick up. For inquiries about delivery availability, please contact the office at tbh@bethhatfiloh.org.
Stop, Pop, & Go: July Collection Friday, July 17, 4:30-5:30 pm
Thanks to everyone who made the strawberry and grape jelly and jam drive for the Thurston County Food Bank a tremendous success. Look for the amazing results in the July Short Schrift!
There will be another TBH Salon on Friday night July 17, and we will once again be collecting items for the Thurston County Food Bank, this time: cans and jars of Peanut Butter, Mayonnaise, Refried Beans, and plastic bags. Plastic bags can be sandwich size, gallon size with a zip lock, and larger size plastic bags. Drop them at TBH on July 17th between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. In addition, we will also be collecting donations of other food items and hygiene items such as toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, etc. for the Food Bank since we cannot drop them off inside TBH in the bins during the virus lockdown. As an alternative, you can also contact Elie Halpern at 360-357-8160 or ehalpern7379@gmail.com, and we will pick up any of those additional items that you wish to donate if you won’t be able to drop them off on the 17th.
For those that would like to make a financial contribution to the Summer Lunch Program at Thurston County Food Bank, you can do so by mailing a check to the Thurston County Food Bank, putting in the memo line that it is for the Summer Lunch Program, or you can go online at https://thurstoncountyfoodbank.org/, also indicating that it is for the Summer Lunch Program.
