Just finished a fabulous weekend with Temple Beth Torah - Humble, Texas (outside of Houston).

I had been with this community countless times over Zoom since 2020, but this is the first time I was able to be with them in person! I will always be grateful to Zoom for allowing me to visit communities when there weren’t any other options, but there is no comparison to raising our voices in song together.

Temple Beth Torah’s Annual Open House with Ellie Flier in Concert. Meet the teachers and board members. Enjoy lunch and schmooze with friends.

RSVP to [email protected]

The Open House Weekend is being sponsored by Howard and Ruth Tobin, in memory of Tracy Tobin Johnson and Gail Preusse Tobin. Tracy (1964-2010) died at an early age of breast cancer. She was a beloved teacher and active at many levels at Temple Beth Torah. Her three children became bar and bat mitzvah on our bimah. Tracy’s mother, Gail (1938-2022), was a beloved teacher at Temple Mizpah in Abilene, Texas, where her three children grew up and became bar and bat mitzvah. In fact, Tracy was the first ever bat mitzvah at Temple Mizpah. Both Tracy and Gail were devoted to the spirit of Jewish
learning, and their memories stay alive when young (and not-so-young) people are inspired to embrace Judaism. Howard, and his current wife, Ruth, while living on their ranch in Ovalo, TX continue to support Temple Beth Torah - a warm, friendly, accepting congregation. They regret they were unable to be present, but wish you all an inspiring weekend.

RSVP to [email protected] for Saturday’s dinner and/or Sunday’s lunch by Wednesday, August 23rd.
