Upcoming Events

Timeless Tribute

You can donate a seat plaque (on the back of a seat in the sanctuary or chapel) in honor or in memory of your family or friends at Temple B'nai Israel.  The deadline for having plaques installed on the seats before the High Hholidays has been extended until the picnic.  For more information and an order form click here.

Meet Kitty Hall, Our New Principal

Dear Friends,

I originally studied to be a musician, but it soon became evident that it takes a Jewish connection to really make my heart sing.  So, it is no surprise that over the course of my life I have been an educator in Conservative and Reform congregations, as well as at Jewish community centers.  It has been my pleasure to create learning environments for people of all ages, from toddlers to seniors.  Because I love to seek out connections among people, cultures and ideas, TBI presents an exciting challenge for me.  Its diverse membership and its commitment to honoring many expressions of our traditions offer wonderful, creative opportunities for learning and for sharing the joy of Jewish life.   

Shalom uv'racha,

Kitty

We look forward to seeing everyone during the High Holidays.

PATRICIA ROSENMANN—for her dedication and organization of the Children’s Library. What a wonderful job she has done!
