We are looking forward to welcoming more than 225 community members at tonight’s Welcome Back Shabbat B’yachad. For as long as I can remember, “B’yachad” has been a key part of TOS life. It started as our ARS community time on Sunday morning and, over time, has come to mean intergenerational, community Shabbat and holiday celebrations. The Hebrew word “b’yachad” (בְּיַחַד) translates to “together”, literally as to “doing things as one.” The word’s root is the Hebrew word echad, which means “one” and reflects the idea that we are stronger when we come together. It emphasizes the importance of collective action, shared experiences, and the interconnectedness of individuals within a community.
This year, on Wednesday October 2, we are excited to bring Rosh Hashanah B’yachad, a new interactive and intergenerational Rosh Hashanah Experience, to the TOS community. Modeled after our successful Shabbat B’yachad program, you can choose to join us for any or all of the following options: Service for Families with Young Children (5:15 pm), Dinner (6:15 pm), or our Erev Rosh Hashanah service (7:15 pm). Registration is required for Rosh Hashanah B’yachad dinner.
As we prepare to celebrate Rosh Hashanah B’yachad, may we carry this spirit of togetherness into the new year, embracing each moment as an opportunity to deepen our connections and uplift one another. By coming together as one, we ensure that our community remains a place of strength, love, and shared purpose for generations to come. Please join us.
Looking forward to seeing you tonight, b’yachad, and again at Rosh Hashanah B’yachad.
