Beyachad - Together
In these challenging times, we obviously need to redefine and think creatively and work hard at what it means to be beyachad with our TBK family. Even when we can’t be together physically, we can still be present for one another in important ways.
The temple staff and board leadership have been in regular conversation. We continue to meet regularly via Zoom and conference call to make plans to be a supportive presence for all of you and to strategize for the security of the congregation.
The overall concept is “TBK Beyachad”: Even (or especially!) now, we will find ways to be together in meaningful ways. We will continue to share additional strategies over the coming days and weeks.
Emotional & Spiritual Support
Rabbi Stein and Rabbi Tulik are both available and eager to be a helpful presence. Please don't hesitate to e-mail rabbistein@tbk.org or rabbitulik@tbk.org or call 244-7060.
For routine TBK business, call 244-7060 and leave a voice mail or e-mail info@tbk.org

Parashat
Parashat Tzav
April 4, 2020
In this Torah portion, God continues to describe the different laws of sacrifices. A distinction is made between sin offerings, burnt offerings, and homage offerings, with each following its own process. God then commands the priests to make another offering that ordains themselves in their positions.
