After Shabbat Morning Services
- announcing Trey's Traybakes!
Take home a delicious treat baked by Trey Rintala in our own back kitchen! Trey is the former sous chef and pastry chef of Meauxbar. After he lost the restaurant due to the pandemic, he focused his energy on feeding those needing help by establishing Tres Bon Food Fund, a nonprofit that allowed him to prepare meals for unemployed musicians and service industry workers. He now runs Happy Breakfast Trey, a popup that allows him to engage his more whimsical creative side.

Community Events and Announcements |

Merging two faiths or traditions can be an emotional experience, filled with the good, the challenging, the joyful and the unforgettable. A wedding is often the first milestone that joins two families and brings two faiths together.
How can we ensure our loved ones have the wedding they are most comfortable with and that makes them happiest? Join Cantor Fishbein and Deacon Scalia on Tuesday, June 15 at 12:00 p.m. to learn about wedding customs, ask questions and to appreciate just how similar our traditions really are.
Cantor Lucy B. Fishbein began her work at Congregation B’nai Jeshurun in 2013. Cantor Fishbein loves to connect with others through her love of music. She sees it as her highest calling to create meaningful and creative paths to Jewish learning, music and prayer.
Deacon Debbie Scalia has served as a deacon with the Episcopal Church since 2003. Deacon Scalia has focused her ministry on outreach in her community. Her primary focus had been on helping young people to recognize their important role in helping others.

A Powerful and Inspiring Video by Rabbi Yoav Ende, Executive Director of the Hannaton Educational Center |
|
At a time of challenge and suffering in Israel, the Masorti Foundation brings you one of the most meaningful voices of Masorti Israel. It's a part of our effort to share the variety of views and perspectives of leading thinkers and activists from the Movement.
In this exceptional, moving first-hand account, Rabbi Ende shares a vision of what kind of society he hopes to build in Israel. With humanity and heart, he reaches out to the Arab communities surrounding Hannaton.
As he said in a speech at joint gathering of Jews and Arabs in the village of Kfar Manra: "I am looking forward to a future where we work together, a shared life based on respect, truth, and acceptance. I believe in this path, the path of peace, and I know most people are willing to walk this path with me."
