8:45-9:45 AM Saturdays, in Rabbi Eliana’s study
This is an ongoing drop in class beginning Nov 16.
No fee. Please sign up for the Torah study emails to receive announcements, such as schedule changes 

Start your Saturday mornings with a warm and engaging dive into the weekly Torah portion! From 8:45-9:45 AM in Rabbi Eliana’s study, we’ll explore timeless themes and fresh insights from the parsha, all in a relaxed, discussion-friendly environment. No prior knowledge of Hebrew or Torah study is needed—just bring your curiosity and a desire to learn. Coffee and meaningful conversation await!

Read a great book, then enjoy a lively discussion at 7:30pm in the Rabbi's study, 3rd Wednesdays of the month. Zoom can be arranged if requested.

7:30pm Wednesday, November 20 we will discuss Joshua Cohen's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Netanyahus: An Account of a Minor and Ultimately Even Negligible Episode in the History of a Very Famous Family.
RSVP for Nov 20 Reading with the Rabbi

"Absorbing, delightful, hilarious, breathtaking and the best and most relevant novel I’ve read in what feels like forever."   —Taffy Brodesser-Akner, The New York Times Book Review

Corbin College, not quite upstate New York, winter 1959–1960: Ruben Blum, a Jewish historian—but not an historian of the Jews—is co-opted onto a hiring committee to review the application of an exiled Israeli scholar specializing in the Spanish Inquisition. When Benzion Netanyahu shows up for an interview, family unexpectedly in tow, Blum plays the reluctant host to guests who proceed to lay waste to his American complacencies. Mixing fiction with nonfiction, the campus novel with the lecture, The Netanyahus is a wildly inventive, genre-bending comedy of blending, identity, and politics that finds Joshua Cohen at the height of his powers.

Pajama and Pizza Havdalah

Upcoming: Saturday, January 25th, 5-7 PM
Future:  March 1.  We will also make havdalah together at our Chanukah party on December 28.

As the sun sets earlier, come join us to play, eat, be cozy, and say goodbye to Shabbat. 

Pizza will be from Veggie Crust, there will be cheese and vegetable options, as well as some other fruits and vegetables for munching. 

Pajamas are optional but encouraged for all ages!

Family & Tot Shabbat Services

Upcoming: Saturday, December 21 we will have Tot Shabbat from  11:00am-noon and School Shabbat (where kids from the school help lead adult services) instead of the Family Service.   In January, we will have our regular Tot/Family Shabbat on January 18th.

Future dates: Jan 18, Feb 8, Mar 29, Apr 26, May 17, Jun 7
Community Kiddush lunch follows services

Join us for a monthly Shabbat morning service for kids and their families (siblings of all ages are invited to join)! Tot Service (best for ages 4 and under) and Family Service (best for ages 5+) take place concurrently. Both services begin at 11:00 am.

Family services follow the order of a Shabbat morning service. We will learn parts of the liturgy, introduce the weekly Torah portion, and chant some of it too.

Tot services in the Chapel (on the Lower level) celebrate Shabbat with all the essentials: songs, movement, plush Torahs, and story time. Come to introduce the youngest members of your family to Shabbat services and connect with other families at TBB.

Upcoming: Dec 13, Jan 10, Feb 14, Mar 21,  Apr 4, May 16, June 13 (Pride Shabbat)

Services at 6:00 pm during the winter months
Potluck following services, around 6:50 pm. Join us for one or both.

A great way to end the week with friends & food. RSVP for the potluck here! We will start with Kabbalat Shabbat Service in the sanctuary, followed by a vegetarian potluck dinner. (No fish please. Dairy and eggs are okay.)
