Rabbi Michael RossDear TBS friends and family,

Wow, what a wonderful Yom Kippur! I am tired, but grateful for all of the partners that helped make this a great series of High Holy Days:

  • Thank you to our Zoom stage managers, Eric Chupack and Laurie Frankino, and thank you for your unyielding dedication to making these holidays special for each of us!
  • To our musical team of Robin Selinger and Peter Tavens, thank you for your inspired and lovely music this year!
  • To our choral singers, Amy McCormick, Dick McCormick, Kim Strausser, for your lovely choral videos!
  • To our Torah readers, Jean Beasley, Art Busch, and Ben Margalit, thank you for your wonderful readings!
  • To all of our English readers, thank you for your assistance!

Rabbi’s New Book Group – “Caste”

I am forming a new book group to read and discuss Isabel Wilkerson’s new book, “Caste: The Origin of our Discontents.” This book looks at the structure of hatred and discrimination in America, Nazi Germany, and India. She is a historian and writer, who has developed a new perspective on the institutional nature of oppression in this country. She also wrote the award-winning “Warmth of Other Suns.”

The group will meet in November. A Sunday afternoon date will be announced soon. Please get a copy of the book and read through the first 100 pages. If there’s desire, we will have a second session on this book as well.
