Support Groups

TBS was founded as a Caring Community 25 years ago. One of the first groups that we formed was a Mother’s Support Group. It is the longest running support group in the congregation.  The goal of all of our groups is to give our members an opportunity to see our congregational community as a place where their lives can be nurtured and enriched. The support groups are not therapy, but support. Members are guided through topical discussions and sharing which adds Jewish and personal value to their lives. None of our groups are drop-in groups. Members commit to coming for the duration of the group so that confidentiality can engender trust, which enables intimacy and bonding. The support groups have served to strengthen a member’s lifelong ties with the congregation in meaningful ways.

Yearly Groups:

• Grief Support Group
• Mothers Support Group
• Children of Holocaust Survivors Support Group

On occasion we have also run other groups that have included:

• Chronic Illness
• Members with Aging Parents
• Young people with Diabetes
• Interfaith Couples
• Parents of College Students
