Letter from Rabbi Ross
Rabbi Michael Ross
Dear TBS Friends and Family,

I hope you had a wonderful Shavuot this week! TBS co-sponsored the Night of Learning at B’nai Jeshurun, and we had a minyan of TBS and Judaism 101 students on hand! It was a joy to represent TBS and Hillel as I presented a session about navigating grief and joy during this precarious time.

We will continue the Shavuot celebration Friday night, when we read the 10 Commandments during our Torah Service. This will take place after the Annual Meeting at 6:30. Join us!

Religious School Updates
The TBS Search Committee conducted an interview this week with a candidate for the Education Director role. We expect a significant update shortly!
