Together to Support the Temple HBT Community
High Holy Day Appeal
All members and friends of our congregation can help to strengthen and grow our HBT community. Our High Holy Day appeal raises critical funds to do this work all year long.
Renewing our Bodies and Spirits
The Days of Awe are upon us. This is a time to reflect, take stock, and commit to being the best versions of ourselves - - for our families, our temple community, and ourselves.
Help Temple HBT Dream Big in 5784
It was an honor to address our Hillel B'nai Torah community on Rosh Hashanah and ask for your support for our High Holiday appeal. In my remarks, I shared that the numbers of last year, 5783, represented the word "connections." This word was very fitting as we created many ways to connect with one another and to have Rabbi Barbara Penzner connect with members before her retirement. After the holiday, Rabbi Noyo looked up the meaning of the numbers for this year, 5784. They represent chalom or dream. So we can look forward to the Year of Dreaming Big at Temple HBT!
Thank You!
Please join me now in making a gift for our 5784 High Holiday Appeal, which provides critical resources to support our staff and programs. Together, we can ensure that Temple HBT starts this new year in a strong way, ready for the significant work ahead to prepare for our next settled rabbi.
L'shanah tovah tikatevu v'techatemu, May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.
