Last night we hosted the world premiere of “I’m Your Number One Fang!”, and a great time was had by all—except perhaps for all the victims? Thanks to everyone who was part of our murder mystery! What a cast!

TBEMC Hanukkah 2023

We closed out Pride Month with a beautiful and meaningful Pride Shabbat led by two of our longtime members Parker Schwartz and BJ Solomon with readings from many community allies.

In June, our Third Annual Celebration Benefit was a wonderful gathering worthy of the honorees who have given so much to our community.

TBEMC Stands with Israel

As Israel’s brave military forces defend our beloved homeland, Jewish Federations across North America are responding with humanitarian aid for victims of terror, from providing for basic, immediate needs to helping rebuild damaged infrastructure and ravaged lives, addressing the immense levels of trauma caused by these horrific events, and more.

Jewish Federation has launched an Israel Emergency Fund to mobilize resources for their network of partners on the ground. Please join us in supporting as you are able by clicking here.

As we grieve the tragic loss of Israeli life and the lives irrevocably changed, let us pray for the safety of all Israelis, those who have lost loved ones, and the safe return of the hostages while we band together as a family, a community, a people. 

You can also make a donation to the Rabbi’s Discretionary Fund, which Rabbi Kerbel will distribute to Friends of IDF, Israel Trauma Coalition, Magen David Adom, and United Hatzalah over the next few weeks.
