Weekly Happenings at TBS

Rabbi's Reflections ~ אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל


It is incumbent on all of us to know the facts.

I often refer to the detailed publication:  Myths and Facts: A Guide to the Arab Israeli Conflict by Mitchell Bard. 
The link above is for the 2023 pdf version. Here is the link to an earlier version in book form.

Or, read this summary article by Bard. 

Join us Sunday at 12:30pm for a short prayer service for Israel. In the social hall.

L'shalom, 
Rabbi Susan

Thank You to Jeff and Shari Brooks for organizing the TBS picnic last Saturday and providing the main course. Wonderful music was performed by Richie Ackerman and his fellow band members. Thank you to the Fingers and Sterns for helping set up and clean up, as well as everyone else who pitched in.
