Join us for this special and memorable Shabbat celebration of our teens.  Our clergy will be joined on the bima by TBE Song Leaders, Teen Band, and Teen Vocal Ensemble members past and present. Reflections on our madrichim program will be shared through jewTuBE videos as we share our successes and our commitment to building up our Steven Gainsboro Teen Educator Fund for the future.
