Our Caring Community Room

In 1995, when I was 10 years old, I joined the junior choir at TBE. I loved singing and spending Sundays with our beloved Cantor, Jodi.

I’m honored to provide meals to celebrate a new baby, mourn the passing of a loved one, or deliver extra TLC from the community.

Our family, like so many others, has been the beneficiary of Susan’s tireless dedication to creating a warm and welcoming environment at TBE.

In my work, coaching individuals through a career transition, I find time and time again that people are blind to their greatest gifts.

For an always welcoming group of us, the Caring Community offers the opportunity to balance, stretch and strengthen our bodies and souls.

“We received wonderful support from the TBE clergy, staff, leadership and members who provided messages of concern and encouragement, advice on a variety of issues and simple friendship.”

My new title speaks to the core of who I am and the kind of person I strive to be: caring for our members and bringing them comfort when they need it most.

Caring Community gives me the opportunity to put a smile on someone’s face and to be part of wonderful group of individuals.

Daphna Bernstein joins TBE as our new Mental Health Clinician Facilitator. We are excited to welcome her to our community!

As part of the Caring Connections group, Lev Echad is an important connector for TBE.

Support groups can be extremely helpful for most people. When people share a common problem, they can help each other to heal and grow.

Our group is joined by a common intention not to perform but to give comfort in the form of song.

We are so proud that TBE has become one of the first religious institutions to have a social worker to support our community’s mental wellness.

When a colleague suggested that we entertain our hardest hit community from their courtyard, we jumped into action.

Early in my student internship, a congregant asked, “What is it like working with the clergy?” To which I said, “It’s a masterclass in how to be a human.”

Our TBE members represent a potentially tremendous resource for people job networking.

In order to make room for giving, we must also receive. We bring a meal not because someone can’t afford a meal, but because it’s a way of showing we care. We call not because someone “needs” a call, but because we want to connect.

It has been a pleasure to meet some of you and get to know the wonderful programs at TBE. I am looking forward to working with and supporting you.
