Selichot-A First Step Toward Repentance
On the road to repentance, we can begin with small steps by saying I'm sorry, s'lichah. Our tradition provides the opportunity for us to do that with Selichot prayers. The Selichot service begins the annual process of gathering as a community to pray for forgiveness. At TBS, we'll begin by watching and discussion of the movie, "Get Low" (R).
Please join Rabbi Jim Saturday night, September 24, at 7:30 pm, at the home of Steve and Stefani Carlson at 2116 Weston Drive, Hudson, OH 44236. We will have desserts and treats with a movie discussion and short service.

Kever Avot ("graves of the ancestors") is the custom of visiting graves of loved ones during the High Holy Days, spiritually linking the living to the preceding generations during this time of deep introspection. In this spirit of remembrance, we will conduct a special service at our beautiful TBS cemetery (located in the Hudson-Markillie Cemetery, 410 N. Main St.) on the Sunday between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, October 9, at 3:00 p.m. We invite you to join with us as we pray together, support one another, and honor the memory of those who have passed at this, our first community Kever Avot Memorial Service. Please join us for this meaningful and reflective service, which is open to all. Whether your loved ones are buried here or far away, whether your loss is recent or many years ago, you are welcome. In case of inclement weather, the service will be held in our sanctuary.
It is that time of year again to prepare ourselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually for the High Holy Days 5777, which begin this year on October 2, 2016. We reflect on our actions during the past year and also take time to honor and memorialize dearly departed loved ones. TBS offers several opportunities for remembrance:
- Yom Kippur Memorial Book, published between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and distributed prior to Kol Nidre.
- Memorial Roll, which is read aloud by Rabbi Egolf during Yom Kippur Yizkor service
- TBS Yahrzeit Memorial Board Program--all names will be read aloud by Rabbi Egolf during Yizkor service

Please join the TBS book club for our next meeting on Sunday, November 6 at 7 pm. New readers are welcome! We will be breaking from our usual "serious" literature and reading two short story collections of Jewish science fiction. The collections are "Jews vs. Aliens" and "Jews vs. Zombies." These collections feature brand new stories from the light-hearted to the profound, all asking the questions you didn’t even know you wanted answered – what happens when aliens arrive, only to encounter....Jews? And what happens when the Chosen People meet the Living Dead?
The books are only available from Amazon, either as a paperback (https://amzn.com/1519611773) combining the two collections, or two separate Kindle downloads (https://amzn.com/B00TQT6L4U and https://amzn.com/B00TQT6L9K).
Book club will meet at the home of Mitch Fromm, 122 North Hayden Parkway in Hudson. Please RSVP to Mitch at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. so we know how many people to expect. Happy reading!
