Editor’s Note: Please read what’s new with our friends at Temple Beth Shalom, just click on the image to enlarge it.
It’s been a hectic year, but Purim is a wonderful time to press pause on all the meetings and fundraising and legal settlements and just come together as a community to celebrate. As always, we want to emphasize that despite the many changes we’ve seen over the past year, TBS has emerged better than ever and remains a warm, progressive Jewish community with a newly strengthened zero-tolerance policy on sexual harassment.

We're building on 127 years of independent journalism to help you develop deeper connections to what it means to be Jewish today.
With so much at stake for the Jewish people right now — war, rising antisemitism, a high-stakes U.S. presidential election — American Jews depend on the Forward's perspective, integrity and courage.
