EVENTS AT TCS/NT
High Holidays
Rabbi Or Rose will be leading our Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services and children's educator Arielle Darby has put together a wonderful children's holiday program and will be leading it on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, along with Ma'ayan Rose (yes, she's Rabbi Rose's daughter). We will also be joined, remotely, by musician, writer, and Torah scholar, Alicia Jo Rabins, who will provide a musical introduction to our Kabbalat Shabbat/Kol Nidre services, and a Yom Kippur afternoon study session with Dr. Rabbi Avi Rose (and, yes, he's Rabbi Rose's brother).
Following Neilah there will be a lox and bagel Break Fast in our downstairs space and outdoor patio area, for those who are interested. A suggested $18 donation for the Break Fast would be appreciated. Times and details on the Break Fast and holiday events can be found on our High Holdiay Services schedule.

Memorial Service: Remembering Those Who Perished - Say Their Names
Monday, Oct. 7th at 6:30pm - approx. 9:30pm at the Synagogue
October 7th marks the first anniversary of the most deadly and devastating attack on Israel since its independence. The brutal murder of 1,200 people, the hundreds of hostages taken, and the subsequent deaths of IDF soldiers has shaken Jews around the world and, with Israel, we grieve for those we lost and for their families.
In considering how to mark this heartbreaking anniversary, TCS has chosen to hold a brief memorial service followed by the reading aloud the names of all those who perished, including the IDF soldiers. We will come together to pray for the hostages, to pray for peace, and to commemorate the lives lost and honor their memory by saying their names.
