Young families are flocking to our Shabbat youth services each week. The Epstein Chapel and other shul facilities are getting a makeover. Our congregation, school and camp have never been stronger. Now in our congregation’s 98th year, Beth Tfiloh is building up to a muchanticipated centennial celebration. Committees of our lay leaders and professionals are planning a very special year to enable the entire BT family to be part of this most significant milestone in Beth Tfiloh’s illustrious history. But in the meantime, look forward to seeing more of the same great Jewish programming that has made Beth Tfiloh unique on the American Jewish
scene: inspiring Shabbat and holiday services, our acclaimed preschool, day school, Hebrew school and camp; amazing youth programs for babies through teens; outstanding Mercaz Dahan adult education classes; outreach to our alumni and young adults; and a special warmth and joy that attracts and enriches the lives of members of all ages and from so many levels of observance. You will find the highlights of the coming year in the BETH TFILOH EXPERIENCE, included with this Bulletin. But don’t just take our word for it — take the time to EXPERIENCE BETH TFILOH for yourself in the coming year. You will discover the excitement and joy that is part of this very special community.
