Temple Beth Abraham's mission is to provide our congregants with opportunities to create meaningful connections to

God, Torah, the Jewish People and the surrounding Community.

We remember, with love, the Six Million whose lives were taken during the Holocaust.

We also remember, with love, those who were taken from our midst this week in years past and

commemorate the anniversaries of their passing.

Our building project is moving forward, albeit at a slower pace than we anticipated. We are scheduled to appear before the Tarrytown Planning Board on February 24. We have had several meetings and conference calls with our architects, professional engineers, and legal advisers to resolve as many issues as possible prior to this meeting. It is our expectation that we will begin construction this Spring and that the project should be completed in approximately 9 months. Religious services and Temple programs will continue throughout. And of course no construction will take place during Shabbat or on the High Holydays. We will announce a date for an informational meeting to review our plans for this project and a Q&A will follow.

For information about how to get involved or to make a gift, contact the Roy Solomon at bridges@tba-ny.org or call Stuart Skolnick at the Temple.

to take a radical step by seeking spirituality and meaning in the insular,

ultraorthodox enclave of Boro Park, Brooklyn.” There, Lola will face

choices that will ultimately decide her fate.

Free for Temple members; $2.00 for guests.
