Celebrate Beth Tikvah’s
First
Adult B’nai Mitzvah Class,
With 92-Year-Old “Bat Mitzvah Girl”
Services June 25 and June 26 to be led by
Rabbi Berg and Cantor Cahana
At the remarkable age of 92, TBT member Ceil Hermann will become a Bat Mitzvah, joining nine other TBT members who have worked exceptionally hard as part of the congregation’s first adult B’Nai Mitzvah class. The entire Bend community is invited to join us in celebration of this occasion in the main sanctuary of the First United Methodist Church. The Erev Shabbat service will be on Friday June 25th at 7:30 pm. The Shabbat Torah Service will be on Saturday June 26th at 9:30 am.
The services will be led by TBT’s Rabbi Alan Berg with special guest Cantor Ida Rae Cahana, and the participation of the adult B’nai Mitzvah class.
In addition to Ceil Hermann, members of the adult B’nai Mitzvah class being honored at these services are: Beverly Adler, Leslie Conley, Jeanne Freeman, Corrie Gruden, Terry Reynolds, Kathy Schindel, Lawrence Schechter, Lorraine Shapiro, and Shari Winicki. They have studied for many months for this special occasion, learning the prayers and their Torah portion. Several of them even had to learn Hebrew from the very beginning!
These services will be final ones led by Rabbi Berg, TBT’s first rabbi, who will be leaving us after being our spiritual leader for the past 18 months. We are forever grateful for the leadership and counsel that Rabbi Berg provided in helping TBT get started as the first Reform congregation in Central Oregon. We wish him and his wife, Bonnie, all the best in their future endeavors. Of course, we are also excited to welcome Rabbi Glenn Ettman, our new rabbi, starting next month. Rabbi Ettman will lead his first Erev Shabbat service on July 23rd and participate in other events scheduled for that weekend.
