Special Shabbat – January 21

Each year, we listen to the stories of being slaves in Egypt, of Moses and the Israelites hurried exodus, and Miriam's song after crossing the Sea of Reeds. We read Parashat Yitro and retell the story of what happened at Sinai, the thunder and lightning, the blast of a horn, the trembling of the mountain. This year we stand together and hear what our ancestors heard as we listen to the chanting of the Ten Commandments from our Ahavat Torah Scroll. Together as a TKE community, we renew the covenant of Sinai on Friday, January 21 at 7:15 p.m. The special Shabbat service will be in-person and live-streamed.

We're Looking for a Few Good Men ... AND Women!

Service to TKE is a mitzvah. If you are interested in serving your congregation and your Jewish community, the Nominating Committee wants to hear from you. In February, the Nominating Committee will interview any member in good standing who believes that they would be the right person to serve on the Board of Trustees for the term that begins on July 1, 2022, and ends on June 30, 2023. A description of each board position can be found HERE. If you decide that you are one of the few, the proud, the TKE Board of Trustees, contact the chair of the Nominating Committee, Dr. Richard Brenner, at raiderdoc1985@gmail.com., by January 31, 2022. Due to its concern for the health of both candidates and the members of the Nominating Committee, all interviews will be conducted via Zoom.
