Sisterhood Rosh Chodesh
Sunday, January 17 | 10 a.m.
Join Rabbi Tara and Sisterhood for an interactive Rosh Chodesh program to usher in the Hebrew month of Shevat—with its celebration of the new year of the trees.
Come ready to share a story and/or image of a tree in your life—perhaps a tree from childhood, a tree in your yard, a tree in a cherished photo, a tree from a familiar view or a tree in a poem, book, film or painting. It would be wonderful if you could send photos of any cherished tree to Rabbi Tara at rabbitara@gmail.com. Also, please bring one piece of fruit (from a tree) to eat during the meeting. RSVP with "Tree" in the subject line to sisterhoodtbegn@gmail.com.

Chaverweb Is Ending
A few years ago, we introduced Chaverweb, an online platform for members to access and make payments on their temple account. As we transition to a new membership data system, Chaverweb is no longer available. We expect to announce a new front-end user version of the application soon. Of course, if there are any questions about your membership account and to make payments, please contact the main office.
