Fellow TEOT Members!
There's a non-competitive co-ed adult kickball league happening on Thursday nights in Tempe.
Interested in forming a TEOT Team? "The Matzo-ballers?" (We can brainstorm a better name;)
Things to know:
You do not need to be good at kickball to participate. You just need to BYOE (Bring your own energy!) We need a minimum of 12 people to make it happen and we can have a maximum of 18 players.
We need at least 8 people to play every Thursday for 8 weeks mid-June-August from 6:30-10 pm.
There's no babysitting and participants must be aged 18 and up, so parents would need childcare at home.
The cost is about $30-$75 per person, depending on the number of people that participate.
Does this sound like something you'd be interested in?

Shabbat Morning Torah Study
led by Rabbi Cookie Lea Olshein
9:15 am | Live and Interactive on Zoom
*ONLINE ONLY*
Meeting ID: 881 7402 8792 | Passcode: Torah
By group consensus, we use "The Social Justice Torah Commentary" as the lens through which we discuss each week's Torah portion this year.
Please Note: It is NOT necessary for you to purchase this book as we share the text on screen each week. However, if you would like to own your own copy, please click HERE to purchase your copy directly from the CCAR Press. (The book is also available digitally on Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.)
So, grab a cup of coffee and join us ONLINE at
9:15 am.
(Please Note: This is the same link we use for our weekly ONLINE Shabbat Morning Worship when we do not celebrate with a B'nai Mitzvah family.)

Saturday Morning Shabbat Worship
led by Rabbi Cookie Lea Olshein
10:30 am | Live and Interactive on Zoom
*ONLINE ONLY*
Meeting ID: 881 7402 8792 | Passcode: Torah
| |
During our informal (and interactive) Shabbat Morning worship, we will dig deeper into the meaning of our traditional prayers and liturgical music, while including modern, interpretative versions that will challenge our understanding of our tradition, as well as a short Torah reading. Each week, we will include a prayer for healing and recitation of the Mourner's Kaddish in case you would like to share your personal prayers for those we love who are struggling and those we have lost.
This service works well for both the inexperienced pray-er as well as those well-versed in our prayer tradition (all liturgy, including English readings and transliteration, will be projected on screen).
