TBS’ Adult B’nai Mitzvah Class Starting this fall!
Have you wanted to transform your adult understanding of Judaism into a meaningful ritual? We are forming an adult b’nai mitzvah class this fall. We will spend the next 9 months or so studying together. Each student will read from the Torah, lead part of a group prayer service, and deliver a D’var Torah.
NEW CLASSES ARE STARTING THIS FALL:
– Jewish Prayer Essentials – structure & meaning of prayers (Saturday mornings before Torah Study, from 9:00 – 9:45 am)
– Basic Hebrew (with Jean and Art, Tuesday evenings)
– Torah Study with Commentaries – Rabbi Michael will teach a new Torah Study as we explore the weekly readings through the eyes of the classic commentators like Rashi, Ibn Ezra, and Ramban. For both beginning and advanced students. All texts will be in English, with Hebrew as needed.

Temple Beth Shalom lending library opening
I am pleased to announce the opening of the Temple Beth Shalom lending library. I have been talking with TBS leadership for the last couple of months. Those conversations created a different concept. You can borrow a book, you can return it, you can keep it, you can pass it on to a friend you think might enjoy the book. You can donate a different book if you like back to the library or an entire shelf of books if you like. I will continue to organize and make them available to the congregation. I can meet you at the Temple and I am hopeful to have time before or after services to have members view the books. We have all things Jewish and all donations should be Jewish related. Eventually I will be listings books on the website. If you want to look at the books, take books, read books in our comfortable Library reading area let me know. This is the start and I will get better as your librarian.
All the best, Bill Riter wrriter@yahoo.com
