TBE Online
More than ever, we need the synagogue,
and more than ever, we need one another.
Our aspiration of shalom is one of wholeness for each individual, our community, and our world.
Care for each other, our greater community, and ourselves.
Care for Our TBE Community
At this time of physical distancing, we strive to ensure that we care for and connect with one another in many ways. We welcome any gestures of love and kindness and all requests, no matter how great or small they may seem.

Care for Ourselves
Mental Health Wellness: Managing Stress
Temple member Deb Elbaum shares strategies to help us keep calm during this anxiety-filled time:
Tools for managing stress
Moving from overwhelmed to opportunity
Order a face mask!
Made by TBE volunteers with instructions from Abdulkader, a Syrian refugee resettled in 2017 with help from TBE, donations support Syrian families. Order your face mask here.
Emergency Financial Assistance
During these unprecedented and challenging days, CJP will be working to provide support to our community. We encourage anyone experiencing financial hardship to contact the CJP Warmline.
Repair the World
We still have the power to affect change and make a difference in people’s lives, even from home.

Reopening Updates
As the Talmud teaches, “To save one life is to save the entire world.” Our actions not only have the potential to keep someone else healthy and well, but to contribute to the global fight against COVID-19. It is with this Jewish value that we begin to prepare for the time when we might be able to resume some typical use of our building.

Support TBE
In this uncertain time, The TBE community is here as a foundation for the struggles and joys that lie ahead for you and your family. Gifts to the TBE Fund support our greatest needs and provide us with the most flexibility in supporting our resources. Dues and fees cover only about 80 percent of the expense of all we offer and do together at TBE. Honor or remember a person or event while you support TBE.
Families with Young Children
If you have children ages 0-5, connect with Yaldeinu, our community of families with young children. Join us online for singing, storytelling, and holiday celebrations!

Donating My Bar Mitzvah Gifts
