Letter from Rabbi Ross
From the Rabbi’s Desk:
The holiday of Tu Beshvat begins Sunday evening. This is the New Year of the Trees, and it is a Jewish Earth Day. TBS will celebrate this wonderful holiday next Friday with a special learning session during our Oneg.
Also, the entire TBS community is invited to meet at Kent State Hillel on Sun. Feb. 2 for a special Open House & Tour. We will meet Hillel’s Executive Director, Adam Hirsh. He and I will talk about the wonderful opportunities that exist between our two groups.
