B.R.E.A.D. Investment DriveWill you invest during the congregation support drive? Tifereth Israel has always been a great supporter of BREAD. We're still behind our Tifereth goal this year. We are asking congregants who are able, to donate. Checks are payable to BREAD and go to the synagogue office. BREAD's Mission? People of faith building power to "do justice." BREAD's Vision for Doing Justice: BREAD provides a vehicle for congregations to practice justice by joining together large numbers of people. These large numbers of people give us a chance to "do justice."

Become a TutorHelp Tifereth Israel be a good neighbor! We're working with a local church, St. Philip Episcopal, to provide tutors for a "Homework Club" that they run for K-8 children in the area, Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-5 pm. If you're interested in volunteering, contact Madeline Fleisher at mpfleisher@gmail.com for more details. No prior experience necessary, and high school students are welcome to help.

Every Israelite gathers to hear Moses’s closing words. They are told that they have an equal share in God’s covenant with their ancestors before them. They also are warned once again about the punishments they will endure if they worship idols. Still, God will reward those who repent. God reminds the Israelites that the laws are not remote, theoretical concepts, but ideas that are attainable for all.

Rabbi vs. Rabbi - Beginning October 22Two Rabbis, three (or more) opinions! In lieu of a sermon during services, after Kiddush, Rabbis Ungar and Braver will each teach a separate Jewish source related to the weekly Torah portion, which sheds light on an issue facing the Jewish community or the broader world. Then, in the tradition of paired chevruta study, the Rabbis will dive into a (friendly) debate and conversation with each other - and the congregation - about what these texts actually mean. Contact mungar@tiferethisrael.org or abraver@tiferethisrael.org for more information.

Shabbat Warmup - Beginning on October 29Beginning Shabbat B'reishit, Shabbat morning services will begin at 9:30 am! The clergy have some exciting changes in store for the service that will still maintain the familiarity of what our "regulars" recognize but focus on creating a more participatory and meaningful worship experience. Though we will be starting later, our plan is to still finish by noon (perhaps a little later if there is a Bar or Bat Mitzvah). Come check out the changes and let us know what you think! Your feedback will help us as we uncover what our worship will look like in the years to come. Since we're starting later, join us earlier!
