Upcoming Events All events are temporarily postponed through April 9th, 2020
Dear Temple Beth Or community,
There is a saying, attributed to Hasidic rabbi Nachman of Breslov, that “the whole world is a narrow bridge, and the most important thing is to not be afraid.” At Temple Beth Or, we appreciate the importance of staving off unnecessary fear, especially in a frightening environment. Nevertheless, the Jewish tradition teaches that the preservation of life and health are of paramount value.
It is for that reason, in an abundance of caution related to COVID-19, that we have made the difficult decision to cancel all programming scheduled to take place at Temple Beth Or on the weekend of March 13th-15th. For programs beyond the 15th, please stay tuned for updates—we will make decisions regarding those upcoming events as soon as we are able and it is responsible to do so.
For now, please join us on Facebook on Friday night, for a special Facebook Live edition of Shabbat-Tube, hosted by Rabbi Ballaban. The episode will be archived online and available for Saturday morning as well.
Wishing everyone a shabbat filled with calm and rest,
Rabbis Judy Chessin and Ari Ballaban
