UPCOMING HIGHLIGHTS/ANNOUNCEMENTS | |

Community Book Read Begins Now!
The Amen Effect
| | |
|
March 27, 7:00pm
The Amen Effect: Rav Claudia in Conversation with Rabbi Sharon Brous (online)
Rav Claudia will share the screen with Rabbi Sharon who makes the case
that when we sit with each other in “celebration, sorrow, and solidarity,”
we are connecting in ways that not only forge deep and lasting relationships, but contribute to a larger healing in our communities and in the world. She will share experiences from her own life where she’s succeeded and where she’s failed. None of us do this perfectly, and so often we feel like we don’t even know how to. Rabbi Sharon gives herself (and us!) grace for now always showing up for people the way we could have, and also practical advice to help us see how we can do this better.

A Shayna Maidel: Join the TBZ Theater Troupe! – Rehearsal (in person)
Rehearsals Sundays: March 23 & 30, 11:00am-2:00pm
Performance: April 6, 11:00am-2:00pm
Step into the actors’ shoes exploring the play A Shayna Maidel by Barbara Lebow, with director, Judy Epstein-Fisher (aka Judy Braha)… “a powerful and poignant drama about two sisters trying to reconnect after years of separation brought on by the rise of the Nazis.” We will investigate and enliven the play together, discuss how theatrical storytelling uniquely captures the human condition and enables us to view the present differently. Our work will culminate in a reading, open to the TBZ community. To best give voice to the play, we need a variety of cast members (all genders) and ages (including high schoolers!). In addition, we have a need for non-acting roles, such as stage manager, narrator, assistant directors, etc. Sign-up is required, no prior theater experience needed! Space is limited!
Claim your role in the “A Shayna Maidel” - sign up here.
