Israel and Overseas Connections
Israel Connection
The Israel Connections Committee seeks to
deepen our congregation’s commitment to and understanding of Progressive
(Reform) Judaism in Israel. In addition, our committee seeks to involve a
variety of TBE congregants through varied educational efforts including
speakers, films, and support of Israeli artisans, businesses and more. We also
coordinate a program to support emergency relief and/or victims of terror
through personal connections.

Odessa Connection
TBE has a special relationship with the Reform
Congregation in Odessa through the World Union for Progressive Judaism. The
Odessa Connection Committee partners TBE with a congregation in Ukraine by
sharing experiences and supporting their community through Judaica,
photographs, music, etc. We seek to educate TBE on the Jewish communities of
the FSU.
