If you made a keycard deposit between 2016-2020 and would like your $10 deposit returned, please let Kayla know by June 30. All remaining deposits will be transfered to the synagogue's operating budget on July 1.
TBH Member Connect Email
The July member connect is coming out this weekend. Submit your entries to Kayla by Friday morning. TBH Member Connect has launched! In order for this to be a sustainable communication tool, please send your entries to Kayla for compilation throughout the month. Some content may be modified and inclusion will be at staff discretion. We will try out this format for the next few months and adjust as needed! Will be sent at the start of each month.
Share your Torah Thoughts!
Each week we have the opportunity to share thoughts and teachings about the weekly Torah portion as part of our services. And we want to hear your wisdom! Rabbi Seth invites you to deliver a d’var Torah at an upcoming service, no experience necessary—and he can help you craft your message. (Also look for a d’var Torah workshop over the summer). If you are interested, sign up here..
THANK YOU!
