Dear TBI Family,

As many of you know, we're getting married! On Friday, October 30, 2026, we'll be celebrating our Jewish wedding under the chuppah at Temple Beth Israel, surrounded by family, friends, and the community that has become such an important part of our lives.

We would have loved nothing more than to celebrate this special occasion with our entire TBI family in person. Unfortunately, due to space and resource limitations, we weren't able to extend invitations to everyone. But that doesn't mean you can't celebrate with us!

We're excited to share that we'll be livestreaming our wedding festivities, including the ceremony and Kabbalat Shabbat, and we'd love for you to join us virtually!

Thank you for being such a meaningful part of our lives. We're incredibly grateful to belong to this wonderful community and can't wait to share our simcha with you!

With love,

Emily & Vikko ❤️



"Three Little Words" Saturday Oct. 31, Rose Myers will teach after Kiddush. In-person, or click for Zoom 


"Three Little Words"

What is Isaac's role in the Akekdah (the binding of Isaac)---what does he know, when does he know it, and what does he do, or not do? Who is being tested? Are there any winners? Why are three words used in the story when only one is needed, and why are they almost immediately repeated? What we can learn from their redundancy? 

Calling all TBI Crafters!

We're planning a Holiday Maker's Market for November 22nd from 11am to 2pm, to be held in the Social Hall. Temple members can reserve a table to display their goods for $5. Please contact the office by November 5th if you would like to participate. We will be sending out an invitation to crafters in the broader community after November 5th, when non-members will be able to reserve a table for $10.
