Dear TBS Friends & Family,
This Saturday we have our first Prayer Essentials group for our Adult B’nai Mitzvah students from 9:00 to 9:40 am. At 9:45 am, we will have our Torah Commentaries class on Vayera, looking at the binding of Isaac. At 11:00 am, we will have a short prayer service.
JEWISH MEDITATION CLASSES ARE RESUMING!
During the High Holidays, I spoke about building resilience during anxious times. If you are seeking a way to move on from the daily chaos and the noise, then please join me every other Thursday evening at 7:30 pm at TBS Hudson for our Jewish Meditation Circle.
Last May and June we held four “Intro to Jewish Meditation” sessions which were well attended.
Our first session will be Thursday, 11/6, at 7:30 pm. We will explore basic practices as a grounding preparation for Shabbat.
Our second session will be THursday, 11/20 at 7:30 pm. For both beginners and advanced meditation folks.
I am an accredited Jewish Mindfulness Meditation teacher by the Institute of Jewish Spirituality. I have been leading meditation groups for the past 15 years.
Donations are welcome!
TBS HOSTS INTERFAITH THANKSGIVING SERVICE
On Sunday, Nov. 23, at 7:00 pm, TBS will host our Annual Interfaith gathering, with the clergy from First Congregational Church, Christ Church Episcopal, and Laurel Lake. Please join us for this wonderful communal event to welcome in a season of gratitude. TBS Sisterhood will host the reception afterwards.
TBS’ Adult B’nai Mitzvah Class Starting this fall!
Have you wanted to transform your adult understanding of Judaism into a meaningful ritual? We are forming an adult b’nai mitzvah class this fall. We will spend the next 9 months or so studying together. Each student will read from the Torah, lead part of a group prayer service, and deliver a D’var Torah.
NEW CLASSES ARE STARTING THIS FALL:
– Jewish Prayer Essentials – structure & meaning of prayers (Saturday mornings before Torah Study, from 9:00 – 9:45 am)
– Basic Hebrew (with Jean and Art, Tuesday evenings)
– Torah Study with Commentaries – Rabbi Michael will teach a new Torah Study as we explore the weekly readings through the eyes of the classic commentators like Rashi, Ibn Ezra, and Ramban. For both beginning and advanced students. All texts will be in English, with Hebrew as needed.

Come for a book and stay to release the noise from the world. I can meet you at the Temple at another time if this time does not work for you. Our books represent all things Jewish and all donated books should be Jewish related. Eventually I will be listings books on the website. If you want to look at the books, take books, read books in our comfortable Library reading area let me know. This is the start and I will get better as your librarian.
