Beth Tfiloh & Liberty Grace Church host a Town Hall meeting where Senator Benjamin Cardin and Congressman Elijah Cummings address Baltimore City issues Your gift to the Annual Campaign allows our shul community to flourish. This past year, support for the Annual Campaign helped us to welcome 53 new member families to our synagogue community. Ninety percent of these new members are young adults and young families, all of whom received subsidized memberships supported by the Annual Campaign. Your gift also enabled us to connect both new and lifelong members of all ages to BT programs and services that strengthen Jewish identities and build community. Last year, more than 1,000 adults and children enjoyed meaningful Shabbat and Yom Tov (holiday) experiences, including Rosh Hashanah apple picking, Chanukah bingo, and a Purim seudah.
When COVID-19 forced us to close our synagogue doors in March, our brick-and-mortar shul quickly transformed into an online community of tefillah (prayer) and Jewish engagement. We launched a daily email series featuring inspiring videos from our clergy and a calendar brimming with online learning opportunities; MeZOOMin, a weekly web series where Rabbi Wohlberg, Rabbi Posner, Rabbi Dr. Yoggev, and special guests exchanged thoughts about the weekly parshah and issues of contemporary Jewish life; and publications providing insights into Jewish holidays and daily living. Clergy and volunteers enthusiastically to participated in monthslong outreach to congregants through personal phone calls, ensuring that
members felt connected to BT and their community.
