The
Sanctuary of TBI resounded with the joyous laughter and applause of a full
house on Saturday morning, May 8th. It was a typical Shabbat service
for our temple, but on this day four adult women became Bat Mitzvah. Jan
Weisbrot from Mt. Laurel, Helene Schwartz from Burlington, Joyce Glassman from
Willingboro and Caroline Feinberg from Cherry Hill, each recited the blessings
and read for the Torah in Hebrew. Rabbi
Irv
Horwitz, Secretary of the Congregation, recited the blessings for wine and
bread, before proud family and friends enjoyed a sumptuous lunch in the large
hall adjacent to the sanctuary. It was truly a memorable event for this small
historic warm older community, which is preserving its heritage.
New
younger members from surrounding areas have recently joined and become active
in TBI.
