BETH TFILOH HONOR ROLL 2016-2017

THANK YOU

beth tfiloh is home to one of the most diverse and dynamic Jewish communities in the country. And it is clear from the generous outpouring of support in response to last year’s BT Match, that home is truly where the heart is.

W

e are extremely proud to share this Honor Roll with you, the members of our Beth Tfiloh family. It is through the involvement and generous support of our loyal members, parents, alumni, and friends that Beth Tfiloh has come to represent the welcoming home that is the center of Jewish life in our community for so many.

Whether is it attending daily minyan, weekly Shabbat and holiday services, attending our schools and our camp, celebrating lifecycle events, or increasing Jewish literacy, we all share a love for this remarkable and dynamic home we fondly call BT. BT is a home where we have watched our children grow and flourish, and where we

have lifted each other up, both in joy and in sorrow. It is a place where we connect to ourselves, to one another, and to a timeless tradition that unites us and gives our lives meaning. On behalf of a grateful Beth Tfiloh family, we thank all of you—our generous supporters—for opening your hearts to us, and helping to make Beth Tfiloh a nurturing and flourishing place for so many to call home.
