Shabbat Shalom!✡️ Ma Nishma? Sharing the JOY of the J: In Torah portion Ki Tavo, we are commanded to bring an offering of fruit as a way of acknowledging our thanks to God for providing an abundant harvest, and we are also commanded to set aside portions of fruit for the Levite, the stranger, the orphan, and the widow. Embedded here is not only the idea that practicing gratitude for our blessings is important, but sharing our blessings with others makes them more meaningful✨ . Gratitude, in this sense, is not simply about recognizing what we have, but about what we do with what we have been given. At the Tucson J, we have the privilege of building a community where people can share their time, talents, traditions, and joy with one another. This week, we saw that spirit in a number of ways.

We began the week on Sunday with over 250 people of all generations celebrating the upcoming holiday of Rosh Hashanah🍯 with Sweet Beginnings event in partnership with and organizations from across the Southern Arizona Jewish community. The afternoon was full of fun crafts, yummy treats, and even a live honeybee🐝 hive for observing! What a sweet reminder that joy grows when it is shared.

As families were enjoying the Rosh Hashanah festivities, competition was hot on the gymnasium courts with the championship game of our Summer Men's🏀 Basketball League! Congratulations to every player this season, but especially back-to-back season champs, Team 1 and Team 6 in second place! Thank you to everyone who made another great season possible.

After a day of learning and connection in their annual Board Summit, Tucson J Board Members joined the senior leadership team at CEO + President, Todd Rockoff's house Sunday evening for a delicious dinner spread, lively conversation, and time to reflect on the meaningful work we are moving forward together🤝 . We are grateful for this group of strong and engaged leaders and the skills and dedication they share with our community.
