Have You Joined Our Capital Campaign?
Help complete the campaign and secure the financial future of TBT!
We hope you enjoyed being together in our new sanctuary during our Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur services.
On the first morning of Rosh HaShanah, our temple president, Karen Goldberg, reminded us that the work is not yet done.  As she said, many factors contributed to the renovation costing more than we expected. Now let's finish paying for our new home!
Make a donation HERE.
You can learn more and make a donation by contacting Karen Goldberg President, Andrea SanMarco Capital Campaign Phase II Chair, or Kim Romine, our Administrative Director.
Thank You to Everyone who has Supported our Renovation!
