I hope everyone had a great week! This past week was amazing - full of events here at BEBY, including a packed engagement with Rudy Rochman and a meaningful discussion with the Shinshinim about Jewish religious, spiritual, and national identity.
This next week will be a little quieter as we prepare for Purim and the BEBY DISCO PURIM CARNIVAL, March 8th!
Parents and Teens: we are looking for volunteers to help run stations at the carnival. Let Rabbi David know if you are interested. (Teens can get community service hours.)
PURIM is coming! Do you know who you are going to be?
See below for more event details.

TORAH TALK FOR THE TABLE with Rabbi David
Parshat Terumah
Parshat Terumah is all about the entire people of Israel coming together for a single goal: to build a place where HaShem can be experienced and felt in this world.
It was not only a building, but a feeling in every person's heart. The Torah teaches us that the only way it worked is that everyone got involved and used their unique skills and talents.
Discussion Questions
What are some of your unique skills and talents?
How can you use those to help others?
Why was it important for everyone to come together?
Where does HaShem live most: in shul or in our hearts? Why do you think so?
Let me know your answers, either by emailing rabbidavid@beby.org or telling me at shul!
