Pesach Is Coming!
Pesach begins at 8:06pm on Saturday, April 12th. Here's some of what's happening at TBS:
Community Seder (4/13)
We're hoping to hold a community seder in the TBS vestry on the second night of Pesach (Sunday, 4/13), but we still need some volunteers to help make this happen. Please reach out to the shul office for more information. Registration is open here. The deadline for registration is next Friday, 4/4.
Meal Matching
If you're looking to host community members or to be hosted for Passover meals, the meal match committee is running a Passover Meal Match for meals from Friday night (4/11) through Sunday lunch (4/20). Hosts should sign up using the Passover host form. Seder guests should sign up on the Seder guest form. Guests for other meals during this time may sign up on the meal match spreadsheet as usual. For questions, please reach out to meal-match@tremontstreetshul.org.

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.
