Purim is Coming!
Services and Megillah Readings:
We'll plan to hold 3 parallel services, Egalitarian, Minyan Tehillah (partnership), and Orthodox, all starting at 7:15pm. After these services end, we will have a combined spiel in the sanctuary. In addition, there will be a late megillah reading after the spiel.
On Purim morning we will have egalitarian and orthodox services. The egalitarian services will begin at 6:45am and the orthodox service will begin at 9:00am. Both services will include a megillah reading.
Mishloach Manot Matanot Lev'yonim
You can cosponsor the shul's Mishloach Manot (Gifts of food) and Matanot Levyonim (Gifts to those in need) here.
Machzor Fundraiser
We are raising funds to purchase new Koren machzorim for the Lay-Led Egalitarian and Orthodox services. These new machzorim would replace the currently used Birnbaum machzorim for the 5786/2025 high holiday services. If you would like to add your support for the purchase of these new machzorim, here is your chance.
ABOUT THE TREMONT STREET SHUL
Temple Beth Shalom, also known as the Tremont Street Shul, is a warm, friendly, traditional synagogue located near the center of Cambridge, Massachusetts. We embrace people of all ages from a wide variety of backgrounds, and we welcome newcomers to feel at home in the shul. We support three styles of Jewish worship: egalitarian, partnership, and orthodox, as well as fostering many kinds of educational, social, and cultural experiences.
We host Minyan Tehillah, an independent prayer group, as well as the Alef-Bet Child Care (a preschool with day care hours!), and we are often engaged in collaborative Jewish programming. In addition to a robust worship and programming schedule, on the first Friday of each month (with rare exceptions; double-check the calendar), we host a semi-potluck dinner open to all! A special treat of the Tremont Street community is that our weekly Shabbat/Saturday morning services are followed by a kiddush lunch at which everyone is welcome. We look forward to seeing you, and please feel free to reach out if we can be helpful in any way.
