Hello Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, our series of relaxed and inviting Summer, Member-Led Shabbat services continues, with a warm and illuminating service presented by our Board Trustees, Arlene Greenberg and Lee Ann Martinez.  They are a dynamic duo!  Services will begin at 11:00 am on Saturday, July 12.  After the service a group is going to Bowman Yard at 308 4th St. SW in Winter Haven for lunch, so if you are interested, inquire within.

We and the Meryl Crews family appreciate all of the prayers, good wishes, meals, and visits since Meryl experienced her medical event, hospitalization, and rehab earlier this year.  Meryl’s healing process will now continue at home.  She and her family will need support through this adjustment.  Debbie Grinker kindly set up a GoFundMe account to let us help, so if you can and would contribute, here is the link:

Dear Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, please join us for the last Shabbat of the “school year” and our last Shabbat officiated by Rabbi Herzfeld with us.  The journey does not end, but it changes direction!  As has been our custom in the Zoom era, the Shabbat and pre-Shavuot service begins on Friday, May 30 at 7:30 both in the synagogue and on Zoom accessible via contacting us.

Torah Study has been one of Rabbi Herzfeld’s favorite activities with us, and ours too.  We will be in the synagogue building together on Saturday, May 31 at 10:00 am to meet with Rabbi Herzfeld via Zoom, or you can again join us on Zoom as well from your home.

Hello Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, is it Summer already?  It feels like it in some ways.  We are starting early with a relaxed, reflective, Member-Led service this Friday evening, April 25, at 7:00 PM (NOTE THE EARLIER TIME).  Join us for a traditional Reform Jewish service led by Lorraine Mixter for her last week as our President (Mazel Tov!).  

 
TBS Members, Lorraine and all of our Board also look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting on Sunday, April 27 at 2:00 PM.

Shabbat Service/Purim Celebration — Fri Mar 14, 7:30 pm

March 13, 2025 by •

Dear Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, we invite you to celebrate another Purim holiday as well as Shabbat with us this Friday, March 14 at 7:30 pm.  The evening will begin with a traditional, brief Shabbat service officiated by our mild-mannered and dignified Rabbi Herzfeld.  

 
As is Rabbi Herzfeld’s tradition at Purim, after the service he will excuse himself to give the bimah to his exclusively selected guest to lead us in reading Megillat Esther.  It is once again a mystery as to who he has invited this time, but they are sure to be colorful and energetic, and we are counting on you to welcome them.  
 
Zoom will not be available for this service, but it has to be experienced in person!  We need you there to make some noise, preferably in costume!  Children are especially welcome.  Expect to enjoy some fun and hamantaschen.
