Weekly Happenings at TBS

On November 9, TBS is leaving the lights on. Hundreds of synagogues and churches around the world will keep their lights on to commemorate Kristallnacht, Nazi Germany’s “Night of Broken Glass,” in which dozens of Jews were murdered and hundreds of synagogues were set ablaze in 1938. “Light from the Synagogue” is join with the international Jewish community. I am so proud that we, at TBS, take that responsibility seriously as we continue to strengthen Prescott’s Jewish presence.
