Letter from Rabbi Ross
Dear TBS Friends & Family,
This Saturday is our final Torah Study, before we have a summer break. We will study the fascinating story of Korach and his rebellion.
Please join us!
Israel-Iran War
As I compose this, the fragile ceasefire is holding between Iran and Israel. The local teens and teachers returned Tuesday after the Cleveland Federation sponsored a special plane to route themselves through Amman, Jordan and on to Greece. We are grateful for their safe return and for Federation’s assistance. I know Israelis are breathing a bit easier today. I hope and pray this desire for peace spreads to Gaza and that a ceasefire will be agreed upon very soon. The starvation continues in Gaza, as a large percentage of Gazans are lacking enough food to eat.
May we find peace soon. May all take a break from the violence and find some holiness and presence this Shabbat.
Rabbi’s Summer Vacation
I will be traveling to L.A. to, yes, see the Dodgers, and to visit my family as we celebrate my birthday and my wife’s birthday from 7/9-7/20.
We will have our next Friday night service on Friday 7/25. Afterwards, we will drop my son off at Camp Havaya in the Poconos, and Rachel and I will attend the Rabibis’ Kallah near Asheville, NC from 7/26-8/6.
Intro to Jewish Meditation Class
On Thursday, 6/26, at 7:30 pm, I will lead an “Introduction to Jewish Meditation.” We will take a summer break after Thursday’s class and resume this group in the fall.
TBS Legacy Fund Update
Participation hits 70%.
Thank you to those who responded to my email. Those who haven’t, please, please join us in this mitzvah of owning our building and ensuring our Temple’s survival for years to come. With less than 15% left to go our goal is within reach! Please help push us over the top.
Blessings to all,
Larry Terkel
TBS President
