Upcoming Tremont St. 20s&30s Events

Unless otherwise noted, all events take place at Temple Beth Shalom of Cambridge.

Regular TBS Friday Night Minyan: Kabbalat Shabbat

6:30 pm year round

As many of you know, the regular Friday night Egalitarian service at Tremont St. is growing and thriving. We regularly meet upstairs in the main sanctuary, 6:30pm year round, and make a small kiddush/Oneg Shabbat together after the service. It's a beautiful service, and everyone is welcome.

We would like to get more people involved in leading the services from week to week. To volunteer, you can sign yourself up on our wiki, or contact 20s30sinfo@tremontstreetshul.org and we'll put you down for the service(s) and date(s) of your choice. You can contact Erica if you would like a practice tape to learn or refresh; we also have some recordings of the Friday night prayers online.

Birkat Kohanim discussion session

Thursday Feb. 18
7:30 - 9:30 pm
Birkat HaKohanim, also known as the Priestly Benediction or "duchening", is a Jewish rite wherein the Kohanim (members of the priestly caste) recite a blessing over the congregation from the bimah. In the Diaspora the priestly blessing is typically recited by the Kohanim on Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot.
  
  The question of whether women -- b'not Kohen and b'not Levi -- may participate in Birkat HaKohanim in the egalitarian minyan is currently under discussion at TBS. Over the next few weeks, we are holding several structured learning/discussion sessions to explore the issue as a community. Our goal is to develop a transparent and coherent process and policy, while respecting the sensibilities of all in our community. Please join us for any or all of these sessions.
  
  The sessions are scheduled for 7:30 - 9:30 pm on the following dates:
  
  Learning session 1: Wednesday, February 3rd
  Discussion session 1: Wednesday, February 10th
  
  Learning session 2: Tuesday, February 16th
  Discussion session 2: Thursday, February 18th
