23 Nisan 5783

9th Day of the Omer (after sundown)

A Message from Rabbi Wexler

I hope everyone had a meaningful Passover holiday and enjoyed some delicious hametz last night! With Passover now in the rearview mirror, we begin to turn out attention to the approaching holiday of Shavuot. Yet, oddly enough, despite specifying the date of every other major festival mentioned in the Torah, the Torah does not tell us the date for Shavuot. However, there is still no question when Shavuot begins, as the Torah informs us that the holiday, in which we celebrate receiving the Torah on Mt. Sinai, arrives seven weeks after the second day of Passover.

Furthermore, we are instructed to count off the days between the two holidays. This period, in which we currently find ourselves, is called the Omer.

This Weekend

Mazal Tov to:

Jessica & Eric Fingerman on their son Matthew becoming a Bar Mitzvah this Shabbat.

Elizabeth Steele & Matthew Kanoff and Joanne & Martin Kanoff on the naming of their daughters and granddaughters Bianca Natalie and Helaina Barbara this Shabbat.

SHARE YOUR #TBSIsraelMoment

As we prepare to celebrate Israel's 75th birthday, help us create a trip down memory lane with pictures from your favorite Israel trips.

When was that moment when you felt most connected to Israel:

Your first moment at the Kotel?

Walking the streets of Tsfat?

Lying on the beach in Tel Aviv?

Send a high-resolution picture, along with a one sentence description, to tbsonline.org/israelmoment to be included in our collage. All pictures will be displayed as part of our TBS Israel 75 celebration.

SAVE THE DATE!

On Tuesday, May 16 at 6:45pm, we will be conducting a very important congregational security training on responding to an active shooter event. The training will be held in the main sanctuary, and the drills will be conducted by the JFED Security team. This training is open to the entire congregation and attendance is highly encouraged.
