Wanted: Hammentaschen Bakers for Purim
 TBS is in need of people who might like to bake a dozen or two hammentaschen for our Purim oneg. We wanted to try it this way, thinking people might like to do this at home according to their time schedule and a busy schedule at TBS. We have Robin Rosen-Sharp’s recipe we have used in the past for uniformity. We would need them done by March 5th and you may drop off in the freezer at TBS. These are for the Purim oneg as Deb Rogers will be making the ones for the school celebration at TBS with the children and mothers. We need about 12 dozen and if there are extra, people can take them home. If you are interested please RSVP me in a text or email me and I will give you the recipe.workingberners@gmail.com OR (440)292-6421 Thanks, Aviva (Julie Lakas) Take care of yourself, and if you can, someone else too. ~Stephen Dubner

Once a month, for the next several months, we will have a discussion about Rabbi Toba Spitzer’s new book, “God is Here.” It looks at the role of metaphor as we reimagine our ideas about God and holiness. These discussions will take place from 9:00 am to 9:45 am, with Torah Study following afterwards. While the group is primarily for our adult b’nai mitzvah students, it’s open to our entire community. Please purchase the book in advance of the class:
Please reach out to Eric Chupack

The Social Action Committee is requesting donations to the Cleveland Kosher Food Pantry for Purim, in the spirit of Shalach Manot, giving food to others so they have enough to celebrate this holiday, Donations may be made online at their website: 
Greetings from the cold weather. I had to come back to Ohio for a few days. I am going back to Stuart Florida today. I broke my foot a month ago and reinjured it a few days ago. I needed to come home to visit a surgeon. I am on the road to recovery. I will send new book suggestion next week. I hope everyone is doing well.
