Rabbi Foster Installation Weekend
Let’s make it official and celebrate Rabbi Foster’s installation as Senior Rabbi at TKE! The Transition Committee has planned a weekend of fun-filled festivities for everyone in the community to join in this exciting moment.
Friday Night, January 24 at 6:30 p.m
The official installation will take place during a special Shabbat service on Friday evening, January 24. There will be a pre-service nosh starting at 6:00 p.m., and the service will start at 6:30 p.m. (this will be the only service on Friday; there is no 8:00 p.m. service). The service will be followed by an elegant oneg. Thank you to the Rabbi Search Committee and the Transition Committee for sponsoring the nosh and oneg!
