TAO is excited to introduce our “Challah Your Name” recognition opportunity.  If there’s someone whom you admire, someone who needs a little special attention, or someone that you want to give a special shout out to for something nice they did or for just being kind and loving and there for you, you can shine the light on them at Shabbat Services and in our newsletter with a minimum $36 donation. With everything that goes on around us during this challenging time, we realize the importance of recognizing those we care about for a variety of reasons. If you want to help shine the light, just click here: CHALLAH and make your donation and contact the office or Renee or Nira to give the details.  Looking forward to Challahing your name in the near future.

This new edition was designed to be used year after year, to match the parsha. Lovingly compiled and edited by Rabbi Shoni’s dear friend, Lisa Sirota-Weiner, this little gem of a book offers the reader glimpses of Torah and Kabbalah on a daily basis. Order yours now!
