Shabbat from the Sukkah, 6:00 pm Our Shabbat service in the comfort of your own home...but, this time Rabbi Seth will be leading services from the TBH sukkah! Grab your computer and candles, and we'll join together in virtual community to celebrate both Shabbat and Sukkot. Services will be hosted on Facebook Live and Zoom.
Shabbat Morning Saturday, September 25 Talmud on Zoom, 10:00 am We will meet on Zoom only for Talmud Study this month. The Talmud is an ancient compendium of Jewish law and lore, and provides the basis upon which biblical interpretation and contemporary Jewish practice rests. Hardly a monolithic document, the Talmud contains investigation and argumentation on all the facets of life. No background required!
The TBH Sukkah will be going up shortly, which means that it will be ready for Sukkot celebrations! TBH'ers that would like to spend time in the Sukkah are welcome to come by the TBH courtyard anytime during Sukkot for small group celebrations. Rabbi Seth will be leading Shabbat services for those looking for a virtual celebration.

Grounds Work Sunday, September 26, 10:00 am
We are moving into fall and it’s almost time to put the grounds to bed for winter. Our focus will be spreading mulch over the bare ground areas, in addition to cutting back the bushes and trees and collecting any fallen leaves. Bring rakes and/or shovels if you have them! Email Catherine with any questions.
Simchat Torah Sunday, September 26, 10:00 am In-Person TBH Lot & Facebook
Simchat Torah is the celebration when we mark the completion of the annual Torah reading cycle. We end the reading and begin again! It’s a time for dancing and singing and we will unroll the entire scroll. Our tentative plan: we will celebrate in person in the TBH courtyard. Attendees age 12+ must be vaccinated. Masking and distancing required. This will be weather dependent, as we can't take the Torah outside unless we have clear weather! We will also livestream the service to Facebook for those that can't attend in person.
