About this Week's Torah Study
From Cantor Harriet: On Saturday we will be looking at this week’s Parasha, Balak, through a Mussar lens. Using “The Mussar Torah Commentary” as our primary guide, we will take a look at the Middah of Kaas, anger, and how it shows up in this week’s parasha (e.g., by "cursing your enemies") and in our own lives and exploring its effects on our ability to see and hear what is happening around us! It will be at 9:30am on Zoom. Click here for Zoom link

Did You Know... TBC's Holocaust Memorial Torah
Many congregants may not know that Temple B'nai Chaim is privileged to be the custodian of a great treasure ... our Holocaust Memorial Torah. It was written in 1832 in what is now the Czech Republic and was rescued from destruction during World War 2. More information about the history of this Torah is available on our website: Our Czech Scroll – Holocaust Memorial Torah #529 and on Pinterest.

TBC Film Club
August 10, 2022 @ 7:30 pm
We will be meeting again for the film club on August 10 and discussing the film "They Came to Stay" available on Kanopy
In the early 20th century, drawn by the promise of America, more than two million eastern European Jews fled poverty and oppression - gravitating to the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Poor and faced with innumerable confusing choices, they struggled to adapt their Jewish traditions to their new lives.
Hope you can join us. If you have any questions regarding the film club, please contact Ria Miller at riahmiller@hotmail.com
