Before Thanksgiving, celebrate our American Jewish heritage by exploring the story of the Bamber family that lived across the street from TBI on Russell St. from 1865-1884. We'll explore what brought Asher Bamber and his family to Waltham, how they balanced Jewish and American identity, and how Golde Bamber empowered thousands of immigrant Jews and others to find a home in Boston through her pioneering educational and social work at the Hebrew Industrial School and Hecht Neighborhood House.

Irma G: A Century of Hats and Spirit

Mayyim Hayyim's current exhibition, Irma G: A Century of Hats and Spirit, is a powerful meditation on intergenerational relationships and the beauty of aging. This was a shared project with photographer Leann Shamash and her mother during the final year of her life where she photographed her in a century’s worth of hats. This exhibit puts a beautiful elderly woman in the uspotlight, and these images bring up themes of legacy, storytelling, and visibility as well as the entire package of who a 96-year-old woman can be.

Date and Time: Wednesday December 3 Leave TBI at 5:00 to carpool to Mayyim Hayyim or meet us there at 5:30.

Dinner to follow at Clover (835 Washington St. Newton). Pay your own way.

Please email Linda (ulinda@gmail.com) by November 30 that you are joining us.

Email Linda if you would like to attend ulinda@gmail.com

Ever wanted to help someone after a loss but weren't sure how? Join Rabbi Ben and fellow TBI members at Shiva Circle's Shiva Guide Training to learn to become a trusted resource for friends and family after a death happens. At this one-day training, you will deepen your knowledge of Jewish mourning traditions, gain strategies and tools to organize shiva, and access a community of volunteer Shiva Guides to share best practices as you support others.
