Archives for Shabbat-O-Gram and Jewish Week articles 2002-2008

For more than a decade, I've been sending my congregation a weekly Shabbat-O-Gram. While that format has now been replaced by this blog, I want to preserve the archived links here so that people can continue to access them. These O-Grams are a window into the recent history of TBE, containing photos, Bar Mitzvah speeches, announcements, Super Bowl predictions and essays by congregants. You can access them here, by clicking on the dates:
