Letter from Rabbi Ross
Dear TBS Friends & Family,

New Group Starting – Intro to Jewish Meditation
On Thursday, 5/15, at 7:30 pm, I will be starting a new group. I will lead an “Introduction to Jewish Meditation.”
In these chaotic days, finding a grounding practice has been invaluable for me.
We will explore basic mindfulness practices as we spiritually prepare for Shabbat.
This group will be for both beginning students and advanced students.
To start, we will meet every other week through May and June.

Religious School News
We will be off on Sunday 5/11 for Mother’s Day.
Our closing day is Sunday 5/18.
