TBC LISTENING SESSIONS: DON'T MISS OUT!
    
Yesterday was our first Listening Session! We had a fascinating and wide-ranging conversation about TBC life and our dreams for TBC's future. Thank you to the congregants who took time out of their schedules to participate!   

We want to hear what inspires and uplifts you and what you think are the strongest elements of TBC life. We also want to hear what hasn't been working and what you wish you could explore through TBC (especially if it is not something that we are currently offering).

Please help us shape our plans for next year and beyond by joining us at one of the following Listening Sessions!

Sunday, August 4 at 10:30 am  /  Sunday, August 25 at 3:00 pm

Click HERE to RSVP for the Listening Session of your choice. A few days before the Listening Session we will email those who RSVP'd with the location.

Share Your Simcha - Sponsor a Preneg, Oneg or Flowers!

A great way of celebrating special simchas, such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, the birth of a child or grandchild, is sharing your nachas with the entire congregation by sponsoring the Shabbat Oneg, preneg or flowers for the Friday of your special week. We will arrange for the flowers, food, and set-up, you just make a minimum donation of $125 for an Oneg, $180 for a Preneg or $250 for the flowers. Sponsor a Shabbat!
