Rabbi Michael RossDear TBS Friends and Family,

SUKKOT & SIMCHAT TORAH EVENTS
We are planning one more special Sukkot gathering and one amazing Simchat Torah party. The entire community is invited to each of the events. Here are the details:

– 6pm, Friday, 10/6: Sukkot Dinner & Sukkot Service – This special time is specifically for our young families to join our community for this wonderful annual gathering. We will be joined by a special group of international guests that night, “Women Leaders – Promoting Peace and Security.” Pasta and salad for dinner. Short Service afterwards. Oneg Dessert in the Sukkah. Sweaters may be needed.

– 10 am, Sunday, 10/8: Simchat Torah & Consecration – Brady Weinstein, Talia Bronstein, and Evelyn Miller will be welcomed into our school community with this special service. Brunch will be served after the service. The entire community is invited to this special event. (Like on Rosh Hashanah, there will be no Religious School classes on this special holiday.)

Religious School Update
– This Sunday, 10/8, we will have a special Family Simchat Torah Service and Consecration Service. The Service will be from 10:00- 11:15. Brunch will follow the service.

NEW CLASS STARTING – Prayer Lab’s “Making Prayer Real”
Last year in the Prayer Lab our Saturday morning group explored the structure of the prayer service and learned some of the metaphors that appear in the prayers. This year, we will explore the art of Jewish prayer, and explore the stumbling blocks that might get in the way of having a meaningful prayer life.

We will read through a wonderful book by Rabbi Mike Comins with the same name, “Making Prayer Real.” Each week we will read through a short section of the book together. I am asking everyone to purchase the book at Amazon or Barnes and Noble. (I will provide handouts the first week or two as folks order this paperback book.)

Here’s the link:

Our first session of this new series of classes will be Sat. 10/14 at 9:30.

TORAH STUDY & BAGEL BRUNCH at Kent State Hillel
Sat. 10/20 is Homecoming at Kent State. Hillel will be hosting an open house, and I will be leading a special Torah Study about Noah. Bagel brunch will be served! All TBS folks are warmly welcomed to come on this fun field trip to campus.
