How do you feel about Jewish charitable events? How many times have you gone to an auction and came home with items you never used? At a recent fundraiser for my daughter’s preschool, my husband bid on a dull gift basket that consisted of a few male-centric board games that we would never play. With […]
Ki Tissa — Aaron: Calculating Leader or Unfaithful Coward?
To see the true integrity and character of a person, examine his reaction when faced by opposing masses. In parashat Ki Tisa, we see a glimpse of Aaron’s character when the Israelites decide to build a golden calf after Moses’ delayed return from Mount Sinai. Exodus 32:1-2 relays: When the people saw that Moses was […]
Maxine Horwitz Cultural Event
There are many doors into Temple Beth Sholom. From the Sanctuary to the School Building to the Social Hall. And through all these doors, we find great experiences for all ages and all interests. TBS is about being together with friends and family and experiencing new and exciting programs. We have a great choice of […]
Sing a Purim Song
It’s felt like Purim in my house since December. That obnoxious toy that Uncle David bought Adina for Chanukah not only plays “Old McDonald,” every time she presses the cow button, but it also plays a Purim song from one of my earliest childhood memories. Our music lady, Sandy Paskus, played piano as we all […]
We’re nationally syndicated!
Of course, We don’t think we’re BORING. Maybe we should send them an invitation to join us for Shabbat Services and see what they think. *grin*
D’var Torah Parashat Mishpatim
By Tami Weisman, Education Intern “Cynthia and Lisa built a house for their puppies and I said can I play and they said no because I don’t have a puppy only I have a kitty.” This is the longest sentence that little, shy Clara has spoken in school to date. There is more to come. […]
Freedom of Speech or Intimidation

This was an opportunity for dialogue to discuss the challenges in Israel at this time, especially in the wake of Israel’s response to the Goldstone report. (more info at http://www.jta.org ) Ambassador Oren was […]
Camp Sholom is Just Around the Corner…
By: Julie Amster The countdown has begun! Only five more months until Camp Sholom 2010 begins. I began my annual Camp Sholom countdowns when I was ten years old–a fourth-grade camper at Camp Sholom. As a Temple Beth Sholom child, I loved my summers of fun, excitement, and Jewish learning. I continued on as a […]
D’var Torah: Beshalach, Shabbat Shirah
By April Akiva, MAJE What is the connection between Tu B’Shevat and the Exodus from Egypt? Each year parashat Beshalach, which recounts the Israelites crossing the Sea of Reeds, coincides with Tu B’Shevat, the Jewish New Year for trees and produce. While on the surface there are no obvious associations between the holiday and the […]
Love From Iraq
Reposted from Rabbi Cohen’s Blog I just got off skype with Daniel, the Captain of the unit Temple Beth Sholom adopted. It was so wonderful to see him and spend some time catching up. All of Daniel’s troops are doing great! In fact, his unit was just given an accommodation for being so well run […]
