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!
TBS Religious School News
This Sunday, 8/24, at 10:00 am, our TBS faculty is meeting for our teacher orientation. Deb Rogers is formally joining our faculty: she will co-teach the Hebrew classes on Thursdays and she will be our b’nai mitzvah tutor and teach music and cooking on Sundays. 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.
