Temple Adat Elohim invites the community to a very special Shabbat to celebrate the fourth annual Jewish Disability Awareness Month. Among both young and adult guest speakers will be eight-year-old congregant Joshua Goldenberg (Simi Valley), who will chart his groundbreaking and well-publicized success in bringing braille to grocery stores shelves locally and nationally.

The Shabbat service – led by Rabbi Ted Riter, Rabbi Rebecca Dubowe, a member of the Jewish Deaf Community, and Cantor David Shukiar -- will focus on ways to break down physical, communication, and attitudinal barriers, educate our communities on what accessibility and inclusion really mean, and reach out to Jews with disabilities. Temple Adat Elohim is a warm and welcoming community that invites diversity in its membership and programs, including its award-winning preschool, religious and Hebrew school. For more information, call 805-497-7101.

Last year we embarked on a temple-wide initiative focused on "Jewish Values for Everyday Living." This year we will continue the program focusing on welcoming, joy, compassion, truth, and order. These are universal values shared by other faiths and presented in this series.

Wednesday, March 21st "Truth" - Lora Brandis/Unitarian
Wednesday, April 18th "Order" - Mark Paredes/Mormon

Each year, TAE host an event to raise funds for programs that support our congregation and our greater Conejo Valley and Los Angeles communities. With over 700 families, we are the largest Jewish congregation between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and we welcome all who come for our programs and services, regardless of their financial resources.

This year's event, "...and the Oscar goes to...TAE," promises to be a red-carpet gala event. It will include a raffle, silent and live auctions, entertainment, and food and beverages for approximately 250 peaple.

Watch this website, your email, and the Bazman for more details...coming soon!

Tee time is 8:15 a.m. on Monday, February 27th

Whether for a new mezuzah or existing one… Our clergy will come to your home and install and bless your mezuzah. You can then follow along to the next home until we culminate in a “bring-your-own” picnic at Thousand Oaks Center Park.

The mezuzah is actually the parchment (not the pretty case!) called a “klaf”. Two passages from the Torah are written on the klaf. One is the Shema. A mezuzah is there to remind us of our relationship to God. It is not an orthodox, conservative, or reform thing, it is an integral part of our Jewish identity.

You can buy a mezuzah from the sisterhood giftshop or from other sources. We will do the rest. The price of this mitzvah is a donation to our local food bank which we will accept when the installation is made.

Please RSVP to Mezuzah Day and Picnic or call Robin Hirsh at (818) 822-7091 or Ken Bock at 805-446-4612 if you have any questions.
