| Sisterhood Book Group
Wednesday, June 3, 7:00 pm
Sisterhood will be discussing The Faith Club, by Ranya Idliby. A groundbreaking book about Americans searching for faith and mutual respect, The Faith Club weaves the story of three women, their three religions, and their urgent quest to understand one another. When an American Muslim woman befriends two other mothers, one Jewish and one Christian, they decide to educate their children about their respective religions. None of them guessed their regular meetings would provide life-changing answers and form bonds that would forever alter their struggles with prejudice, fear, and anger. Personal, powerful, and compelling, The Faith Club forces readers to face the tough questions about their own religions.

B'nai Mitzvah Projects and Attendance
B'nai mitzvah season is in full swing. As a reminder,
TBC members are invited and encouraged to attend the Saturday morning Shabbat services at which our students become b'nai mitzvah. These Shabbat morning services are held at 9 and/or 11:15 am. Check the TBC calendar to confirm times. Please join the community as we celebrate our children becoming bar/bat mitzvah or "adult" members of TBC. We're so proud of each and every student.
All students preparing for their bat and bar mitzvahs are encouraged to complete a mitzvah project profile so that information about their project can be posted on the TBC website.
