TRIBE is for wild ones in their 20's-40's who Jew together. 

Shalom TRIBE,
 
Giant thanks to Marley Lieberman and Josh Wortman for last week's TRIBE Shabbat Oneg & Game Night. Marley taught a mean mahj and Josh checker'd it up. So many of you came out with gusto. More pics here and above. Check out this awesome TRIBE we are building!! So grateful.
 
At game night we also learned some Torah about the distinction between a cistern and a well from my teacher and President of our Rabbinical School, Rabbi Sharon Cohen Anisfeld . A deep teaching for the times we are living in, especially considering what's happening at our borders.
 
Speaking of our borders, our Social Action Committee will host a Just Shmooz after services next Shabbat, July 6th. Join us (link to it), to share your hearts and minds. Want to learn more and get involved with our Social Action Committee? Reach out to one of our Chairs, Sari Hartman.
 
See you in the courtyard tomorrow night, sit under the stars with us and sing out a new song. Come up and say hello!
 
Many blessings,

Rabbi Solomon
