TBI Community Dinner

TBI’s communal potluck Shabbat dinners are held on the first Friday night of every month, following the Family Shabbat service. Please bring a vegetarian dish to share, join in some Shabbat z’mirot, and enjoy an evening with community.

Rosh Chodesh Women’s Group

Led by Rabbi Kim Ettlinger, this group extends a warm invitation to all women to come along and join a lovely group to meet, chat, learn and celebrate the monthly new moon as so many women in our tradition have done before us. Call the office on 9510 1488 for location.

TBI Film Club

One Sunday evening each month, we film-lovers gather in the Friedlander for a screening. We supply the popcorn and chocolates so you can just sit back, enjoy and, if you want, stay and share your thoughts about the film over coffee and cake when the final credits have rolled.
Email Ginny at vklooger@netspace.net.au to receive monthly emails detailing screening dates and titles or call our office at 9510 1488 for more information.
