Yom Kippur Food Drive
We encourage you to take a paper bag today and bring it back on Yom Kippur filled with non-expired food. Your donation will help JF&CS Family Table fulfill its mission of providing healthy food to those in need by donating canned goods, shabbat candles, whole grain crackers, whole grain pasta, raisins, and whole grain cereal. In addition, we are collecting salmon and raisins to send monthly to JF&CS. You may ship these items directly to TBA by using the link on our homepage or the QR code.

Second Day Speaker On Day 2 of Rosh Hashanah, former TBA President Amy Cohen will speak about her 45year career as a social worker. For the last 40 years Amy has helped to create families working at Adoptions With Love. She retired this past spring as the Executive Director. While building families, Amy has helped individuals and families manage crises, provided counseling, and support to navigate the complex world of adoption. Amy has been a member of TBA for over 40 years and served on numerous committees.
Think of the year as a house: door flung wide in welcome, threshold swept and waiting, a graced spaciousness opening and offering itself to you. Let it be blessed in every room. Let it be hallowed in every corner. Let every nook be a refuge and every object set to holy use.
The Year As A House
Let it be here that safety will rest. Let it be here that health will make its home. Let it be here that peace will show its face. Let it be here that love will find its way. Here let the weary come let the aching come let the lost come let the sorrowing come.
And may it be in this house of a year that the seasons will spin in beauty, and may it be in these turning days that time will spiral with joy. And may it be that its rooms will fill with ordinary grace and light spill from every window to welcome the stranger home. - Jan Richardson
Here let them find their rest and let them find their soothing and let them find their place and let them find their delight.
