“Sharing Our Stories….Singing Our Songs” | 32nd Annual Women Cantors’ Network Conference

Sunday, June 16-Wednesday, June 19
Under the leadership of Cantor Annie Rose, TBE hosts this year’s Women Cantors’ Network Conference. Cantors from all over the country will share workshops, keynote addresses, and concerts. The public is invited to the opening concert in the sanctuary on Sunday, June 16 at 8 pm. Cantors from five congregations will share their original music, as well as the stories behind the music, including Abby Gostein (Texas), Robin Joseph (Connecticut), Debbie Katchko-Gray (Connecticut), Kathy Sebo (Ohio), and Robbi Sherwin (Texas). Two of TBE’s musical ensembles, Kol Halev and The High School Shir Chadash Singers, will perform. Three members of the TBE community—Marianne Aaron, Mari Cohen, and Dave Gitterman—will tell stories that shed light on several of the songs to be performed.
A gala reception follows in the social hall.
The concert and reception are open to the public free of charge.

Summer Services Schedule

Friday, July 5 – Friday, August 16
Lay-led services are a TBE tradition. It’s also an excellent opportunity for congregants to learn more about our services and to serve our temple.
Various members of our community lead services, give a d’var Torah, and/or lead singing. There is no Torah service.
Training will be given to anyone interested in leading. Service leaders do not need to lead music; music leaders and service leaders can be paired, if requested. Often, couples or friends lead together. For more information, please contact Marty Ludington at mludington@albion.edu. TBE thanks you!

The Advisory Group will work with applicants to ensure that their applications are ready to be sent to the TBE board for evaluation.

Tzedakah Box to benefit the Back Door Food Pantry

The BDFP always appreciates canned goods donations; however Food Gatherer's buying power is even greater when money is donated. A Tzedakah box has been created for that purpose which is located at the entrance of the sanctuary at every service. We hope that you will be moved to contribute to it whenever you can. The people who benefit from the Food Pantry thank you for your generosity.
