Rabbi Gilad Kariv to Speak on the
World Zionist Congress Elections
at Breakfast, Sunday, January 19 at 10:00 a.m.
 Rabbi Gilad Kariv, president of the Israeli Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism, returns to TBE to launch our participation in the

The World Zionist Congress elections is a critical opportunity to support the growth of Reform Judaism in Israel, and part of our congregation's commitment to religious pluralism and democracy in Israel. Rabbi Kariv is a dear friend of our congregation and a moving and passionate speaker.
Don't miss this opportunity to hear Rabbi Kariv. Please let us know you're coming so we can plan breakfast.
RSVP to Dina in the office.
Voting for the World Zionist Congress elections begins January 21 and runs through March 11. Watch for more information about the elections and voting.

Breakfast with Myron Sugerman
January 27, 9:00 a.m.
Myron Sugerman's memoir,
The Last Jewish Gangster: From Meyer to Myron, is more than just a riveting account of the author's nearly sixty-year career as an international outlaw in the field of slot machines and casinos. It is also a fascinating meditation on aging, respect, adventure, greed and a man's tendency to be his own worst enemy.
This complimentary breakfast is co-sponsored by Temple Beth-El's Sisterhood and Brotherhood, and Jewish LIFE: Learning Is For Everyone.
