Family Friendly Shabbat - Early Service and Supper
Join us as we celebrate Shabbat with our families. Simple service followed by kid-friendly Shabbat meal. There are two separate services: one for children up to age 6, the other for ages 6-12. These evenings are meant for families with children 12 and under, but of course, all are welcome. There is no charge, donations are welcome.

End-of-the-School-Year Extravaganza

Graduation, Confirmation and Consecration
This special evening will begin with a multi-media production from Phoebe Pott's class, then a light potluck dinner. Our students will then lead a simple Shabbat service. After the service, we will honor our students who are graduating, being confirmed and consecrated. Then we'll celebrate with a make-your- own-ice cream sundae bar. Please RSVP by email to the TAA office.

Our Synagogue Was Destroyed by Fire, Our Congregation Continues to Thrive and Grow.

On December 15, our landmark 180-year-old building burned to the ground. Since then, we have not missed a single service, religious school class, or mah jongg game.  We have received countless gifts -- pennies, office furniture, torahs, hugs and shared tears. We have established a temporary home, and are enthusiastically planning for our new building. We invite you to visit us in person to pray, to study, to sing, to schmooze.
Destruction and Rebuilding

Progress Update:
We will soon be demolishing the remains of the Middle Street building. The office staff has moved into our transitional space at 33 Commercial Street. That space will be renovated to include a small chapel and the Hebrew School. Until renovations are completed, we will continue to hold Shabbat services at the Independent Christian Church, Unitarian Universalist. As always, we welcome visitors warmly.
