SPECIAL EREV SHABBAT SERVICE

Friday, June 2 at 6 PM

During our Erev Shabbat Service on June 2, we will honor those who have pledged their support to Temple Beth Zion through the Harold Grinspoon Foundation’s LIFE & LEGACY® program and/or the Rabbi Joseph and Janice Fink Legacy Society.

At the service we will also thank and honor Jeff Clark for his 4 years of service as our Executive Director. Jeff is leaving TBZ for a position as Executive Director of Hillel of Buffalo. We know that he will be a tremendous asset to the organization that is the hub of Jewish student life.

A festive Oneg reception will follow the service. Please join us!
