A Mesmerizing Evening With
The Tree of Life Shtender and Its Creator
|
 More than 100 congregants and friends from the community attended the Tree of Life Shtender presentation at our synagogue this past Wednesday evening. They were mesmerized by an extraordinary work of art and by its creator, Noah Greenberg, pictured here with some of the ritual objects cleverly concealed within this prayer and study lectern.
Noah will be returning to our community in November on a different project. Watch B'kesher and your TI Bulletin for details.

| Extend Holiday Greetings to the TI Community in the September Bulletin |
 For the first time in many years we will be publishing High Holiday greetings in the

coming year to the entire community and to be "green" by saving on paper and
envelopes. A contribution of $18 is requested for each greeting.
The deadline for submitting greetings to
appear in the September Bulletin is Tuesday, August 10. A supplemental list will appear in the October issue for any additional
greetings that are received after August 10 (but before September 10).
To order your greeting, please filll out and return to the synagogue office the form that was included in your High Holiday mailing, along with your check made out to Tikvat Israel Congregation. |
