Divrei Tikvah
From Rabbi Sara Abrams

The Guest is inside you, and also inside me:
you know the sprout is hidden inside the seed.
We are all struggling; none of us has gone far.

 

Chanukah has ended and winter has arrived; the darkest night has come and gone, and now we encounter the increasing light so beautifully represented by the menorah. Winter is the season for going within, even in Southern California. It is a time to light a candle, make a cup of tea, and nurture the inner life with tenderness and care.

President’s Message
From Ginger Weeden

As we close another remarkable calendar year at Temple Beth Tikvah, I want to share heartfelt congratulations on all we have accomplished together. 

Our congregation has grown stronger in every meaningful way. Financially, we are on firmer footing. Membership continues to rise, with more young adults and young families choosing to join our community. Our programming has expanded in both diversity and depth, and our social action efforts now reflect a broader range of opportunities to learn, connect, and serve. Attendance at many of our signature events has also grown, demonstrating the energy and commitment within our congregation.
