Earlier this week, Rabbi Einsidler and TBS co-vice president Dr. Tara Sotsky Kent participated in a workshop with Scientists in Synagogues at Temple Emanu-El in New York City. TBS is honored to be a recipient of a grant made possible through the John Templeton Foundation, and proud to be part of the latest cohort of synagogues fostering conversations and events at the nexus of Judaism and science.

We spent the day learning with our fellow cohort members from the United States and Israel, and got to enjoy Temple Emanu-El’s beautiful sanctuary where we took a group photo on the bimah (we’re towards the back in the center). We are currently planning several exciting events for the coming year- please stay tuned for more details soon!
