A message to the Beth Tfiloh family from Rabbi Jonathan Gross

High Holy Day Checklist

Miriam and I want to let you know that I will be stepping away from the rabbinate position effective this July 1, 2016. This was a mutual decision we reached with Beth Tfiloh that is both in the best interests of the Shul and helpful for me.

“WALKING WITH THE ENEMY” Inspired by a true story, this is an unforgettable film of love, courage, and sacrifice. Set in Hungary during the final months of World War II, a young man sets out to find his displaced family by using a stolen Nazi uniform to pose as an officer. Filled with suspense and danger, he undertakes extraordinary measures to reroute his family and others to safety by disrupting the activities of the German occupiers.
