Join us for a musical Havdalah at Spa Beach as we say goodbye to Shabbat and begin a week! Please bring your favorite chair or blanket to this experience.
Let's chat together about plans for our new Sisterhood! We look forward to seeing you in the APR (All Purpose Room) located in the gated courtyard of our education building. No registration necessary.
SHARE WHAT MATTERS TO YOU!
We're building a Temple Beth-El Sisterhood from the ground up and we need to know what kind of events you're interested in! Moms' night out? Brewery tour? Yoga? Oneg Shabbat? Making care packages for those in need? Something else? Please let us know in this short (I promise!) survey.
What does the Daystar Lunchmaking Team do?
A small group of volunteers gather at TBE to make lunch bags for Daystar Life Center to distribute as needed. Each bag contains a peanut butter & jelly or turkey & cheese sandwich, apple sauce, chips, cookies and a bottle of water. Over 100 sandwiches and lunch bags are created with love each month and dropped off at Daystar Life Center.
March 26 - 10am - Social Hall

Temple Beth-El works together with over 50 houses of worship throughout the county in a justice group called FAST: Faith and Action for Strength Together. This year on Monday March 27th at 7:00 P.M. at Indian Rocks Baptist Church, we will bring together over 2,000 people at the Nehemiah Action where we will ask our community leaders to take concrete actions to solve the lack of affordable housing, poor water quality, and excessive adult arrests for minor mistakes. This will be a powerful experience for our community and an opportunity to live out our Jewish value of tikkun olam, repairing the world. As part of this event, Rabbi Mangold will be leading a prayer and would love for our TBE community to be present. Please join Rabbi Mangold, Rabbi Torop, our TBE friends, and the greater community as together we stand up for justice and share the values of our tradition.
Come join us for a casual get together at a member's home in St. Petersburg to meet new friends and see some old ones. We will explore a new direction for Temple Beth-El Sisterhood, establish building blocks for an exciting and meaningful Temple Beth-El Sisterhood. Come and share what matters to you!
RSVP by Friday, March 24, 2023.

Please join us for an important conversation about anti-semitism. Together we will learn how to identify and push back on prejudice as we study the book, It Could Happen Here, by Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League.
Participants are encouraged to read this book before attending class. No registration is necessary.
The imperative to pursue justice, answers to the questions of why we do it and how we can do our part, permeate the Torah. Join Rabbi Jenn Mangold and Rabbi Michael Torop, Emeritus as they alternate on a fortnightly study of that week’s Torah portion through the lens of social justice. Using the Reform Movement’s most recent publication, The Social Justice Torah Commentary, as a jumping off point, our encounter of ancient texts will be exceedingly relevant to injustices of our 21st century world.
