This coming Tuesday, May 16, at 6:45pm we will be conducting a congregational security drill on responding to an active shooter event.

So, whether you...Read more...

Little did we know that we would be closed for several months and things would never really be the same. The world is now a different place and a lot has changed for TBS in many ways, including how we gather, how we communicate, how we engage, and how we keep our community safe. These are some of the areas...Read more...

Run, hide, or fight? These are the options one must consider if faced with the unthinkable. Not a pleasant thought, but we have to think about it, and we have to prepare. And that is exactly what we did last Thursday evening as members of the JFED security team conducted active shooter drills with more than 60 members of our faculty, staff, and clergy. We started with a full staff discussion on the Run/Hide/Fight...Read more...

Likewise, while masking is not required at most events in the building, it is encouraged when there is “high” Community Levels of COVID-19.
