“The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old, but building the new.” – Socrates

Over the years, we have built an incredible congregation here at Temple Beth Emet. More than that – we’ve built a family that we are so proud to be a part of. That pride is contagious, carrying into our schools, He*Bros (Brotherhood), Sisterhood and PTO’s. Our friends, neighbors and co-workers have watched and listened and they want to join our TBE family too! Our school registration has exploded and synagogue membership is on the rise. Now more than ever, we have the unique opportunity to further build a thriving, lasting future for our congregation as we charge through this next phase of growth.

Enter the Shamash Tribe. A group of people from the TBE auxiliary groups (He*Bros, Sisterhood, ECC Parenthood and the BES PTO) coming together as one powerhouse to navigate this growth and welcome our new TBE family members. We are made up of all generations, stages of life, backgrounds, and perspectives. With open communication and open minds, we aim to challenge what works and what can be improved to best meet the needs of our community and engage everyone to join us!

Coming together is how we do this first and foremost. We are so excited to share with you all-new, compelling programming throughout the upcoming year. We cannot wait to see faces old and new at our events creating new memories, sharing good food, drinks, conversation, and laughs. All of our programming will directly benefit our congregation and schools.

The Shamash Tribe needs YOU!
