From TBK Executive Director
Joel Elliot Last evening, I was so proud to be here at Temple B'rith Kodesh. In that spirit of pride, let me describe a bit more.... The place was packed. In our school wing, Rabbi Sandra Katz was teaching about Jewish life cycle events to the students of Basic Judaism. What a thrill to realize young people have a deep yearning to learn more about Judaism. In the atrium, Elliot Fix was working with a very special group of adults, his Jewish Living class. Friend of the Jewish Community, Jim Anderson, was leading some amazing folk dancing! In the family center, 175 students were transfixed as a Catholic Deacon and a Protestant Minister taught about Christians and the Holocaust. In the chapel, another 175 members of the community were transfixed as Professor Reuven Hazan expounded on Israeli politics in the headlines. We have the Board of Rabbis, the Jewish Community Federation and the Holocaust Study Group to thank for these programs, but in the end, it was happening at TBK - a happening place on a chilly Wednesday evening in January.
