Gather

Community. Conversation. Connection.

The Jewish people love good ideas and good conversation.

Gather is an initiative of Temple Beth Shalom designed to meet these two human needs.

Become a part of a small group (12-15 people) who Gather once a month to share good food, good drinks, and good conversation. (We are aiming to form three groups total.)
No prior Jewish education required; no pre-reading necessary.
Topics will be variable, flexible, and responsive to the interests of the group: everything from the rise of antisemitism, to Talmudic views on cancel-culture, from the deeper meaning of Chanukah, to Israeli current events – or anything else we can dream up.

We will Gather in the TBS library – and/or, if participants are open to hosting, in one another’s living rooms.
