Update: TSTI’s Building Closure
Continued connection is what we have strived for as our temple family moves into an unprecedented second week of state-mandated social distancing. Even without the benefit of the physical structure of Temple, we are one congregation and one community.
We have made every effort to bring TSTI to you to bridge the physical distance required to keep this virus at bay. With Zoom gatherings as diverse as Shabbat streaming services, morning coffees with Clergy, Hebrew School, Shabbat songs and blessings, Torah Study and educational programs like Cantor Moses’ recent discussion of Leo Frank, we are delivering the best of Temple directly to you in your home. Continue to check “TSTI Today” for daily updates about programming.
But in addition to keeping members engaged, our priority is to keep our TSTI family safe. For this reason, we have made the decision to continue with our ZOOM programming and keep Temple closed for the foreseeable future. Be assured that we will continue to update you as we make decisions about this situation going forward. We are here to help any individuals or families who need assistance during this difficult time.
In the meantime, stay safe and well.

Dan Cohen, Rabbi

Hebrew High — Grades 9-12 Tuesday Beginning at 6:30 pm
We are so excited to Virtually get our Hebrew High teens together once again via zoom! Tomorrow night, we will be discussing how some celebrities and public figures have been advocating about physical distancing through some unrealistic and privileged examples. Does this make them unrelatable? How can this help us to reflect on our own physical distancing? We can’t wait to hear what our Hebrew High teens have to say.
