Rav Caleb has curated a High Holiday Playlist of many of his favorite High Holiday melodies, plus some other ones just to get us in the right mood. Don't worry, you don't need to learn all of these! But we will use some of them, so put it on as you prepare for Shabbat, as you walk your dog, as you drive to work. Get in the spirit with these beautiful songs! There's a Spotify version HERE and an Apple Music version HERE (thanks to Brian S for making the Apple Music version!)

Temple Beth-El Adult Education Program 5785(2024-2025) Celebrating 100 Years of TBE!
Ongoing study of Jewish tradition, history, literature, and thought is a critical component of Jewish life, and a central, dynamic element of Jewish experience. Under the inspired leadership of Rabbi Emeritus Scott Glass and now Rabbi Caleb Brommer, our community has developed multiple opportunities and venues for us to engage Jewish texts and ideas. Adult Education classes are open to all members of the TBE community free of charge. Contributions to the Adult Education Fund support this program and are deeply appreciated.
Registration is required, just click HERE to sign up electronically. If you prefer, you may also call the Temple office at (607) 273-5775 any time and tell us which classes you'd like to attend.

The Rabbi Scott & Sharon Glass Endowment Campaign 2020-2024
Temple Beth-El launched an endowment campaign to secure the future of the congregation. Every gift to this campaign, which will conclude in 2024, will be matched for the next four years so as to permanently sustain the amazing TBE community, school and activities associated with the temple. In appreciation for their many years of leadership to our congregation, this campaign is named in honor of our beloved Rabbi Emeritus, Scott Glass together with his spouse, Sharon, who both gave tirelessly to our community throughout their 43 years of service to TBE.
The campaign goal is $2M to be raised over 5 years with the goal, when fully funded (including the challenge match of $1.5M) to provide $100K in annual flow of funds in support of the temple, for operations, reserve funds, programming and as needed capital replacement expenses. For further details, please reach out to the campaign committee chair HERE
