Community Quilt
Back in the Fall of 2020 we asked our members to imagine a vibrant quilt welcoming everyone who enters TBB- one that expresses the diverse, creative, and inclusive spirit of our community. As part of the Reimagining TBB effort, we invited our community members to reflect on a moment, a story, an image - past, present, or future - that expresses a way that TBB matters, then create a quilt square representing it. And they did! 
Thirty-six (double chai) quilt squares were created by families and individuals who unleashed their creativity, and now we have two quilt panels that express those reflections. On Friday, April 23, 2021, the assembled quilts were presented to the community during a special Shabbat Service.
