Beth Israel Congregation

✨ Exciting News ✨

We’re delighted to share that Yos Tarshish will be working with Rabbi Polansky over the coming months on a focused pilot to develop and test new youth programming for Beth Israel’s pre-teen and teen community.

Through a combination of listening, relationship-building, and hands-on program development, Yos will be helping us explore how we can create meaningful, engaging pathways that keep our young people connected to Beth Israel and to Jewish life beyond B Mitzvah.

As part of this work, Yos will be reaching out to teens and parents for conversations and feedback, your voices will help shape what comes next.

We’re grateful to be partnering with Yos Tarshish Consulting on this time-bound initiative and look forward to sharing updates as the pilot unfolds.

This Seder was pretty SWEET 🍫🍬 Thank you so much to everyone who joined Talmud Torah for our final session of the year and to enjoy a tasty, authentic chocolate Seder. Chocolate milk, chocolate dipped mango, banana and chocolate Hillel sandwiches, mini eggs, oranges and so much more…needless to say, the kids had a blast!

We said hello to the holiday and goodbye to many of our very special teachers who will be graduating and moving on next year. Beth Israel wishes them all the best!
