We get it. Temple Rodef Shalom is a big place. But, we know how to bring it down to “fun size.” Do you like to take a hike while learning about local history? Do you love watching good films…and then critiquing them with friends? Are you into researching your family genealogy? Do you use the word “aperture” more than once a day? Then, join a Tent – our small groups initiative aimed at gathering together Temple members who enjoy the same interests, hobbies, sports and more!
Every third Sunday of the month, be on the lookout for a congregational email with all the latest intel on our Tents. Don’t see something you like? Then, put a stake in the ground and claim your own Tent.
If you’re a TRS member and want to join a Tent or just want to hear more, please email Program Associate Becky Liu-Katz for more information. She’ll be glad to help!
