Upcoming Events All events are temporarily postponed
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 for the time being.
Wishing everyone a shabbat filled with calm and rest,
Rabbis Judy Chessin and Ben Azriel
