Who We Are in Our Own Texts:
Seminal Documents from American Jewish History of of the 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries
A three-session course with Rabbi Douglas Kohn
Thursdays, March 28, April 4, April 11
6:00 p.m. at TBE
Dine & Learn with Rabbi Kohn
American Jewish communal history dates back to 1654, when 23 refugees from Brazil disembarked at then New Amsterdam. Their arrival was colored with conflict, and a rich correspondence between New Amsterdam and old Amsterdam ensued, and thus began the textual history of Jews in North America.
In this course, we will study that amazing correspondence, and further critical documents from the next two centuries, all of which helped define the place and station of Jews in America. Come and enjoy!

 Help TBE’s Caring Community
Caring for one another is our obligation as Jews. By responding to the calls of our fellow TBE members is a way for each of us to reply “Hineini” here I am.
The Caring Committee reaches out to congregants when there has been a death in the family, when a ride is needed for a medical procedure, or a meal after a hospital stay.
But Without You, We Are One Volunteer Short!
The Caring Community invites you to help us realize our goal of having every congregant be a member of our Caring Community. The Caring Community is an unusual committee, because to be a “member,” you only need to be a member of TBE. When we are made aware of a congregant in need you will receive an email from a Caring Community chair, asking for your help. Please respond if you can, when we perform a mitzvah for others, we strengthen them, our entire community and ourselves.
To join the committee or for more information, please contact Gail Burch.
