Annual Congregational Meeting
Wednesday, May 29 at 7:30 pm
|
 |
At Temple B'nai Chaim there are two Congregational meetings each year, held in November and May. You are encouraged to attend what promises to be an important and informative meeting; this is your opportunity to provide input to the direction of our synagogue.
To conduct official synagogue business, we need a quorum of attendees from 15 percent of our member units. Come, be counted in the quorum, and have your voice be heard!
Security Update: The Congregational Meeting agenda will include - among other items - an update on security measures TBC leadership is currently undertaking, some of which involve infrastructure updates. However, in light of yet another shooting, we wanted to let you know that we have been and are continuing to take steps now to tighten security. We are coordinating with local police and Federation, which has also been actively working to help ensure the safety and security of member synagogues. In addition, you should be aware that we have requested and are receiving, increased police surveillance at TBC when we have children in the building and when events are taking place.

Pride Torah Study -

Join Rabbi Bearman for this special Torah Study. We will explore LGBTQ themes in our weekly Torah as well as other texts of our movement tracing the journey the movement has taken to embrace, support, and celebrate the LGBTQ community, and discuss where we hope to see more progress in the future.
