Erev Shabbat Service - Assisted by Gr K-3
This Friday night, February 5th at 7pm, children from the Shalom School will be assisting Rabbi Fertig with the Erev Shabbat Service. This is always a wonderful and heartwarming service.


Join The Snow Removal Team
We need you to join our Snow Removal Team! Every time it snows - TBS needs to make sure that our walkways are clear of snow, as well as our entrances to and from the building.

A team of us has been formed (led by Ed Fellenbaum and Evans Travis) so that we can divide up this task to a small group if it is light snow, or call in the entire troop for a much larger storm. Shoveling is much easier when we work in numbers.

An email distribution list has been setup when the time comes to call for help. Please click on this link to join this email distribution list and follow the instructions so that you too can become a member of this dedicated and selfless group of mitzvah-doers.



We have recorded many of the prayers and songs you will hear at our services. Click here to listen and follow along with the words that have been transliterated into English.

Registering at Shaw’s can help TBS
While the Shaw's register receipt program ended in the spring, there is a replacement program that also can benefit TBS. If you haven’t yet registered your Shaw’s rewards card online or by phone, it’s easy to do. To register, just use this link or call 1-877-932-7948. You’ll need (1) your Rewards Card number; (2) a telephone number. Once registered, TBS will receive 1% of any shopping you do at any Shaw’s or Star Market on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. It’s all tabulated automatically once you’re registered (no more voluminous receipts to save!!) And anyone can sign up, so feel free to extend the offer to friends and family. One reminder, if you registered for this program prior to receiving the new Shaw’s rewards card (for gas pump use), you will need to update your information. You can do this by calling the 877 number above.

In the first 3 month period of our participation, just eight families raised $22, so it’s easy to see how the numbers can start to add up!! Any questions, contact Cathy Semel at cmsemel@rcn.com. Thanks!!
