In 2009 over 400 participants traveled on a mission of music, healing and connection with the Cantors' Assembly to Poland & Israel. It was an emotional and moving Journey Through Time.

A note from Aderet Okon Drucker, Rabbinic Intern:
It is a JTS tradition for graduating rabbinical students to share words of Torah with the JTS community, their family and friends in the form of a senior sermon. On Monday, Nov. 2, 2011,, I shared my senior sermon on Parashat Toledot and the importance of interfaith dialogue at the Women's League Seminary Synagogue at JTS. I am honored to share these words with you, my Temple Israel Center community.
If you or someone you know is ill or hospitalized,
please inform the Bikkur Holim Committee.
Contact Jodi Shames or Karen Mandel.

We will list them together as hyperlinks from a T.I.C. Employment Advisory Initiative webpage. As always, if you have (or know of) a particular job posting that you know would be OK for us to post on our site, email us and we will put the position on our T.I.C Job Bank. If you have a job posting that you do not want posted on our site, but hope we can help suggest a T.I.C. candidate, let us know that. Please send emails to employmentinitiative@templeisraelcenter.org
