Tefillah Conversation
This Shabbat
 Our Beth Jacob tefillah team came together this spring to lead our community in a process of deepening our engagement as a community on Shabbat mornings. In March, 109 of us responded to a survey that asked us about what we find meaningful in prayer and what draws us to this community. Read the nine themes our tefillah team distilled from our survey responses. Hear how the team is starting to think with us about tefillah. Reflect with other Beth Jacob folks about what we hope for in prayer. Our tefillah team will invite us into conversation as a community just before musaf in shul.

Beth Jacob Annual Meeting
 The Beth Jacob Annual Meeting will be held at the synagogue at 7 pm on Tuesday, June 11. Officially the primary purpose of the meeting is to elect new members of the Board of Trustees (see reverse for the slate of nominees). It is also a time where we traditionally celebrate our accomplishments, honor and thank our volunteers and staff, and enjoy a little nosh and a chance to schmooze.
The agenda includes, among other things:
- President's Report
- Presentation of Bud Sweet Award to Laurie Radofsky
- Recognition of outgoing members of the Board of Trustees
We hope to see you there!
