Book Club - "The Devil in Jerusalem" by Naomi Ragen:Monday, September 11 7:00pm-8:30pm Based on true events, "The Devil in Jerusalem", from international bestselling author Naomi Ragen, is an eye-opening look at the dangerous predators lurking around the watering holes of those who come seeking spiritual enlightenment. Brought in to investigate, Jerusalem detective Bina Tzedek carefully peels back layer after layer of secrets and lies, following a dark, winding path through Jerusalem’s Old City, kabbalists, mystical ancient texts, and terrifying cult rituals, until she comes face to face with the horrifying truth which has held a young American family captive. We will meet via Zoom. -

Sign Up to Volunteer at Gan Tikvah 2023 Our Garden of Hope:May 7 through Sept 24. Once again in 2023 the BTC Social Action Committee will be planting Gan Tikvah, a vegetable garden to provide fresh produce to WINGS, an organization that provides housing, integrated services, education and advocacy to end domestic violence. This is a great way to personally help others who would not otherwise have fresh produce. Please use the Sign Up Genius to pick a date and time to help. We need anyone interested in helping the Gan Tivkah grow - No experience needed! We will teach you. This is a wonderful family activity, B’Mitzvah project and a good way to get to know our Beth Tikvah community.
