We celebrate Kehillat Shabbat -- which means a "Shabbat Community" -- in our monthly service on Saturday June 2 at 10:30am. In Kehillat Shabbat, we create a special Shabbat space, in a congregation where there are many diverse ways of practicing and of experiencing Shabbat.
The service combines Hebrew and English, singing and responsive reading, a short Torah service, and a Torah discussion, a bibliodrama, or a literary adaptation of the weekly portion. The service is welcoming and participatory. We use some of the same melodies that are used in our regular weekly service as well as some other melodies. You don't need to know Hebrew or have previous experience with prayer to enjoy Kehillat Shabbat – The Kehillat Shabbat prayer book is fully translated and transliterated and provides brief explanations about the prayers and rituals that accompany them TBB Team in the 2012 Save Our Homes Walk
The Save Our Home 5k walk to fight homelessness in Somerville was held on Sunday, May 20, 2012 with an enthusiastic team of TBB particpants on a gorgeous sunny day! Stay tuned for photos and an update of how much we reised.
Each year TBB and the Congregation B'nai Brith Children's School field a large and enthusiastic Save Our Homes Walk team. Walk with students from CBBCS and shul members as we proudly carry the TBB banner, wear our TBB tee shirts, and help raise desperately needed emergency funds to help keep Somerville families in their homes, adults at their jobs, and kids in school. The money we raise helps more than 100 Somerville residents avoid the devastation of homelessness. 100% of the funds raised are used to assist needy families and individuals directly.
