Boker Tov TBZ- Monday through Fridays 8am
It is a wonderful opportunity to start the day with half an hour’s quiet introspection and prayer, as well as some very friendly faces (and chat if you have time afterwards). You don’t have to be a regular: drop in whenever you feel like it. Your Zoom box is always ready for you!
There is a Rabbinic led minyan on Mondays and Thursdays and a Community-led minyan on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Feel free to email Adam Teller if you have any questions.
If you are able and willing to help lead our prayers, we would love to hear from you.
If you would like to be added to the boker tov email list, please email Beth.

Men’s Group, Every Sunday evening, 7pm
TBZ’s Men’s group aims to explore men’s roles in a rapidly changing society and to examine issues of mutual concern while engaging with other men on intellectual, spiritual and emotional levels. We aim to share challenges, successes, insights and other aspects of our personal lives in a nonjudgmental, confidential, and respectful manner; creating a community of support with deep and caring connections. Now, we have weekly check in’s and a monthly conversation on a topic of interest. For more information, contact Rob Kaim.
Rosh Hodesh, Dec 20, Jan 17, Feb 14, 6:30pm, led by Rav Tiferet and TBZ women.
Each month, we provide a welcoming place each month for TBZ women to meet and share their experiences as Jewish women with a different theme each month and co-led by Rav Tiferet and group participants. Whether you’re new to TBZ or just looking for a way to deepen your TBZ experience, our Rosh Hodesh group is a chance to connect with other TBZ and share your ideas.
The TBZ Book Club provides a setting in which TBZ members come together to discuss fiction and non-fiction books with Jewish themes. Monthly meetings on Sunday evenings at TBZ feature lively discussions of books by or about Jewish people, alternating fiction and non-fiction selections. You may find yourself reading books you never knew about or thought to read and meeting other book lovers! Please join us at any time during the year by contacting the Coordinator at tbzbookclub@tbzbrookline.org

TBZ Therapists’ Connection Every Other Thursday:
Therapy is typically a place where the focus is on the client’s concerns and the therapist usually does not share her or his personal stories or information. Now the therapist and the client are both managing an ever changing landscape filled with varying levels of fear, loneliness, frustration, boredom and, most of all, uncertainty.
Do we bring our personal stories and/or ways of coping into the session? Do we leave our personal lives out and focus only on the client’s concerns? Are there any “right” ways of doing this? Come be part of the discussion. We’d love to get your perspective on doing therapy during this time.
If you are interested in participating, contact Jenny Berz: jbberz@gmail.com
21-Day Racial Equity Habit-Building Challenge
The Racial Justice Working Group also invites you to participate in the 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge, from the American Bar Association. These 21 “assignments” include readings, videos, and podcasts, and focus on the Black experience of racism in America. We’re organizing participants into groups of 4 who work through the challenge together, meeting on-line once a week. Please reach out to Susan Bookbinder (susanbookbinder@comcast.net) for more information.
