Rabbi’s Message

Bat Mitzvah of Audrey Fitzpatrick

Audrey Fitzpatrick will become a Bat Mitzvah! She is a happy, energetic, creative girl who enjoys ariel silks, swimming, rock climbing and other active pastimes. Writing fictional stories is another of her favorites. She has been studying hard and is excited for this event.

Masechet Berachot Siyum

Saturday, March 7, 5:30pm


Around the world, Jews read the entire Talmud one page at a time, on a set schedule called Daf Yomi (literally “a page a day”). Many people in the TBI community are doing this, too. It takes 7 ½ years to go through the entire Talmud, and the current cycle began January 5th. Berachot is the very first of the Talmud’s 37 tractates. We’ll celebrate the siyum (completion) with a group study session, a vegetarian potluck meal, and then Havdalah. You're welcome to attend whether you have been studying or not, for what will be a joyful and educational evening.

In order for us to have a potluck, we need help with set up and clean up.

» Please email Jody if you can help.
