Happenings

Let’s Join Together – Virtually!

Temple Beth Tikvah is a remarkable community of incredible individuals and we are blessed to have each other particularly during a pandemic. While there is no substitute for a really big hug, we are grateful for our virtual gatherings that enable us to see each other, chat and listen, sing, pray, learn and grow. Now, we have more opportunities for TBT members to come together online to learn and share and socialize. Check our calendar for upcoming online events. If you’d like to attend any of our events email templebethtikvah@gmail.com.

President’s Message 
Kerrie Zurovsky

I find myself unable to write about anything other than last week’s tragic school shooting in Uvalde. I am many things – a wife, daughter, friend, graphic designer, synagogue president – but first and foremost, I am a mother.

Divrei Tikvah 
From Rabbi Johanna Hershenson

The month of June screams: School’s out for summer! My own daughter, Abi, graduates from university along with many of TBT’s kids and grandkids spread out all over the country. In Temple Beth Tikvah, June closes our fiscal and program year.

This Tishah B'Av, Act as if There Was No God

This Tishah B'Av, Act as if There Was No God jemerman August 2, 2022

Death and Mourning
Tishah B'Av is a day of mourning, commemorating the destruction of the first and second Temples. In recent years, it's also a day to mourn other tragedies that have darkened Jewish history - the Romans putting down the Bar Kochba revolt, mass murders of Jewish communities during the Crusades, expulsions from England, France, and Spain in the Middle Ages, and the Holocaust.

Clinging to the Blessings of Jewish Education

Clinging to the Blessings of Jewish Education jemerman August 1, 2022

Jewish Learning
For the past two years, it has felt like much of what we have valued was sinking and all we could do was watch and grieve. But if we really look back, we realize that there is so much we've learned.

Going Back to School: Easing the Transition for Your Preschooler

Going Back to School: Easing the Transition for Your Preschooler jemerman July 26, 2022

Engaging Families with Young Children

As the sun sets on these long, hot summer days, plans begin to return to school. Buying new clothes and a backpack, but perhaps the most important transition is the one of the child walking into a new classroom and starting a new school year. It can be scary for them and for you!
