From the Archives: TBE's Bulletin, 30 Years Ago

At the conclusion of each programming year, I used to lay out my "State of the Synagogue" with a focus on religion and education, youth and social (the president would give the financial report). Here is one from exactly 30 years ago. You can see some of the dreams we had then and assess how those dreams have withstood the test of time. To see a clearer pdf of these pages, click here.

And as a bonus, click here for another bulletin from earlier that same year. And check out a few pages from that one on the bottom of this page, including a very timely article by a certain 12th grader who is set to become TBE's next president.
