Light Labyrinth Walk Together Wed 12/1 5:30pm

Join us on the TBS campus as we welcome the fourth night of Hanukah. As we kindle the hanukiyah and remember the miracles of this season, we walk a labyrinth of light to focus our steps and reflect on our journey. It is a simple walk with lots of ways to consider how we move through our world and carry light on our way. Our Hebrew school students and members of the interfaith community will be participating with us.

How an Instagram Meme Account is Spreading Jewish Joy

How an Instagram Meme Account is Spreading Jewish Joy jemerman March 31, 2023

When Aly Silverberg (she/her) started a Jewish meme account on Instagram, she never expected it to go viral - or for it to have such a big impact on her life and career. She certainly never expected it to reach tens of thousands of other Jews!

Thriving Like Isaac

Thriving Like Isaac sdolgov March 29, 2023

Living most of my life in a hearing world – as a not-fully hearing person – has been my “normal” living experience. I don’t know any other way of being. I suspect there is a different way of living because everyone around me tells me so – they imagine that my life must be so hard, how I must cope (what are my choices??). At one point, I tried to connect to the Deaf community. Between not being fluent in American Sign Language and being able to live in the hearing world, I didn’t feel welcome – although I learned a lot about myself as a less-than-fully-hearing person in a hearing world. A few years ago, when I went from hard of hearing to deaf, I decided that I would be just that, “deaf” without the capital “D”. I am now a deaf person living in a hearing world (as opposed to a Deaf person with connections to the Deaf community).

Dayenu: The Power of Enough-ness

Dayenu: The Power of Enough-ness jemerman March 27, 2023

Last year was my first time celebrating Passover and one of the first times I sang with the congregational choir. One of the songs we performed for the seder was "Dayenu." The choir director explained during practice that in Hebrew, "dayenu" means "enough." I loved the melody of the song and found myself humming the tune as I prepared for Passover.
