SHABBAT SHALOM!
Sukkot Tisch! Friday October 14, 6:00 pm Hybrid
Our regular Friday night service will take place in the TBH Sukkah as we celebrate both Shabbat and Sukkot with singing, stories, and study. Bring food to share if you are able!
We will meet and study parshat Va'zot Hab'rachah--Deuteronomy 33:1-34:12. The focus this time
will be a deeper dive into the Mussar middah/soul trait of Emunah-Yearning for Faith.
Please join us for these thought provoking explorations each month.
We look forward to being with you for this conversation.

Healing Havdalah Saturday October 15, 7:00 pm Online Only
Rabbi Seth leads havdalah every month on the third Saturday of the month. These are an opportunity to informally gather as one community, and to support one another through the ongoing challenges. We will schmooze, connect with old friends and make new ones. We will have a short healing service with prayer, meditation and sharing, and conclude with Havdalah. However you seek healing in your life right now, you are welcome.
Celebrate the restarting of the annual Torah reading cycle with our Simchat Torah celebration! Sing and dance with our Torah scrolls and participate as we unroll the entire Torah! We will also honor our students for a new year of learning and our upcoming b'nai mitzvah!

Women and femme-identifiers are invited to enter the divine circle and to bring a hand-held object or photograph of a woman or femme-identifier who personifies strength, wisdom and spiritual guidance in their lives.
Coffee, tea and snacks will be served.
