Letter from Rabbi Ross
Dear TBS Friends and Family,
We are in the final hours of this year as we conclude our prep and prepare to welcome 5783 Sunday evening. We are looking forward to celebrating with many of you at services. May each of us, in this New Year, find vision, hope and health. May it be a year of abundant sweetness for you and yours! Shanah tovah!

We will not have the flipbooks available to us this year from the CCAR. If you are attending on zoom, please get your own copies of the High holiday prayerbooks from us. You can purchase the e-books for our High Holiday prayerbooks here:

Prayer Lab – Saturday 9/24 at 9:30 am
This year our topic for study on Saturday mornings will be Jewish prayer. We will dive deep into the siddur and examine the art of prayer. Each session we will select a prayer or two to explore and then we will have a brief prayer service and discussion. These classes will be called “Prayer Lab.”
For our first 4 sessions, we will focus on the High Holiday prayers and we will prepare ourselves for the transformative nature of the High Holidays with some special journaling sessions. Snacks will be served. All are welcome!
