Rabbi's Reflections ~ Let's help find a cure

I would guess that there is no one reading this who has not been affected by Alzheimer's Disease. Whether it be a family member or friend or colleague, we all know someone who has suffered tremendously from the effects of dementia.

Team TBS is walking this Saturday morning to help find a cure. There are seven of us walking so far. Wouldn't it be nice to double that number? 

Please join us in person or make a donation if you cannot be there. 

The shorter walk is .5 miles and the longer walk is 1.5 miles. I cannot think of a better way to celebrate Sukkot as a congregation. 

It is not too late to sign up. See the info below in the newsletter.

Chag Sameach,
