Donations can be left in the blue bin the the TBH foyer, and checks made out to the Thurston County Food Bank can be left in the TBH mailbox.
Have You Welcomed New Life Into Your Family This Past Year?
It is the custom at TBH to invite those who have welcomed new life into their family as parents, grandparents, etc. to read in English the haftarah on Rosh Hashanah day. If you would like to take part, please be in touch with Rabbi Seth at rabbi@bethhatfiloh.org. While services will be hybrid, we will probably record the haftarah as a video (from the comfort of your home!).
Volunteers and Ushers Needed! NOW through Yom Kippur We are looking for ushers to assist those coming to services with books, finding seats, etc. Please reach out to Tzvi at tbh@bethhatfiloh.org and specify which service (Erev Rosh Hashanah, Rosh Hashanah Day, Kol Nidre, Yom Kippur Day, Neilah)
Volunteers are also needed to greet congregants at the door and host our Zoom services remotely. Get involved today!
