Letter from Rabbi Ross
Dear TBS Friends & Family,
After taking some time to travel and hike and teach, it’s time to gear up for the fall!
This Saturday is our first Torah Study of the fall. We will study the section called Re’eh about the various commandments we need to understand.
These sessions will also be geared towards preparing for the High Holidays at the end of September.
Torah for Our Times will meet at 9:30 am this Saturday. A short service will be held at 11:00. Bagels will be served.
Please join us!

Jean Beasley will be our assistant director this year, teaching on Thursday with Deb. On Sundays, Jean will teach the younger students, while I will teach the older students. I will serve as the education director this year as well. Jean’s daughter, Shari, will run our preschool program each month.
