Always wanted to read the entire Bible? Wondering what happens after the people of Israel leave Egypt and arrive in the Promised Land? Now is your chance! TBB is joining Project 929 – Reading the Hebrew Bible Together! We will read five chapters each week, and meet every other week to discuss. Feel free to drop in when you are able. We also have an email group and Facebook group where discussion questions keep the conversation going as we read at home.

Spinning Silver
by Naomi Novak
7pm Wednesday, September 18
​at Panera Porter Square
    Miryem is the daughter and granddaughter of moneylenders... but her father isn't a very good one. Free to lend and reluctant to collect, he has loaned out most of his wife's dowry and left the family on the edge of poverty--until Miryem steps in. Hardening her heart against her fellow villagers' pleas, she sets out to collect what is owed--and finds herself more than up to the task. When her grandfather loans her a pouch of silver pennies, she brings it back full of gold.
    But having the reputation of being able to change silver to gold can be more trouble than it's worth--especially when her fate becomes tangled with the cold creatures that haunt the wood, and whose king has learned of her reputation and wants to exploit it for reasons Miryem cannot understand.
Do you like receiving the TBB newsletter in the mail? ​​​Should the TBB Shofar go electronic?
    We are considering discontinuing the paper newsletter soon, in favor of an email version. We may also continue to send the Shofar by mail to those who wish to receive it that way. Please share your thoughts with us on how we should distribute the Shofar, as well as your personal delivery preference, at templebnaibrith.org/newsletter.
