Join us this Friday as our Sunday school students raise funds for Israel through a program called The Tzedakah Collective. Pairs of students have researched Israeli non-profits and created display boards to encourage our congregants to support these organizations by dropping dollars into their donations cans.
The program begins at 4:45 during an extended oneg sponsored by our Sunday school families. Then, join us for a lively Shabbat service featuring the prayers that our children sing weekly at Sunday school.
And, hear reflections from our first Confirmation class ever at TBS.
Our children are the future. Let's celebrate them.
Bring lots of dollar bills! בשלום Rabbi Susan
