Join us for a Special Torah Study Class
Biblical Examples of Open Arms and Open Hearts
June 23, 9:30 to 11:00 am
While some argue that the bible teaches us to prioritize policy over empathy, the Jewish Tradition is clear in its commitment to welcoming the stranger with open arms and hearts.
This Saturday (June 23rd), Rabbi Bearman will lead a special Torah Study that will explore multiple biblical examples of our tradition's emphasis on receiving those who are unlike ourselves with kindness and fair treatment.

Year End Appeal From Cindy Baulsir, President
Dear Fellow Congregants:
There is so much that our community has to be grateful for! This past year has been
filled with challenges. In spite of those changes, we have a clear path for moving forward
with a new Student Cantor, a new Director of Lifelong Learning and continued support from
our Rabbi!
We had set an aggressive goal for our fundraising efforts this year!
Many of you have already generously
donated! If you have not yet given, please consider
making a tax deductible donation to help support our TBC community. We are asking
every family to contribute $118 to ensure that we meet our goal!
Your support will make a real,
lasting impact on the future welfare of the community!
Please make your donation now by writing a check or go directly to our website,
Thank you for your continued support and friendship.
