Temple Beth Israel (TBI)

Tanta Golda is having a hard time wrapping her mind around savory hamantashen. They're on her, "what atrocities are visiting on Traditon?" list along with blueberry bagels (nope, no way. Blueberries are for muffins.) But, if you make her some, she's willing to give it a try.

Welcome, to our Friday night service!

Friday night service with Rabbi Sam tomorrow, beginning at 7pm! We will live stream the zoom service.

For those of you nearly as old as Tanta Golda and perhaps tired of Hamantashen, here are some Purim cookie alternatives. If you makes some and need a taster, I'd be happy to help out!

It's that time of year again when we start thinking about Hamantashen. Here's a basic dough recipe, with links to basic and exotic fillings.

This week's D'var Torah, torah teaching, from Rabbi Sam. If you are human, like Moses, and find you are struggling, there is no shame in reaching out to someone for help. Shabbat Shalom!

If you haven't yet, please vote. Vote your conscience, whatever way that leads you, but vote. May our election be civil and the results accepted with peace, regardless of the outcome. Let us stand united as a people and a nation for kindness and the rule of law. Vote

Sharing this from Rabbi Sarah Rosenbaum-Jones: Thank you, Rabbi Pearce, for communicating the larger impact of Justice Barrett's appointment on our LGBTQA+ friends. Marriage is just the tip of the large and destructive iceberg. I'm grateful to be a rabbi with many rabbis and cantors (thanks for sharing this, Adam Kahan!) from whom I can learn. **The Board of Temple Beth Israel, Redding stands shoulder to shoulder with our LGBTQ+ community members- Jews and non-Jews. We welcome you with open hearts and open arms.

Sorry it's a little late. Here is Rabbi Sam's d'var Torah for the week. In these times when our country seems broken, let us all work to build bridges of connection. https://youtu.be/nFkIl_UJMjE
