Dear Friends,


This is a week for both celebration and commemoration.


Wednesday night and Thursday, the Jewish world celebrates Tu B’Shvat, a holiday that some call the original earth day. Tune in for programs on the environment and our natural world throughout the week.

And as this "New Year for the Trees" ushers in the beginning of Spring in Israel, we pray that the season brings with it a continued sense of hope that the hostages being held by Hamas will soon be released, and that this war will soon come to an end.


And Saturday is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time to commemorate the six million Jews and millions of other victims of the Shoah. See programs all week including a new discussion from the Temple Emanu-El Streicker Center, and a short film from the International March of the Living.


And next week, on Wednesday, January 31st, JBS will commemorate and celebrate the memory of Rabbi Mark S. Golub z"l, with special new programming for the first yahrzeit of his passing.

We remember Mark this month and always. His lifelong dedication to Jewish education in media guides and motivates everyone at JBS as we continue the great legacy of his work.

All this and much more. We hope you enjoy it all!
