This week’s Parsha- Passover
At the congregational meeting on April 10, Yizak Meir Sabo was elected as the next Rabbi for Tiferet Israel Congregation. Rabbi Sabo is well known to the Dallas Jewish community both as an educator at Akiba Yavneh Academy and through his Torah study group as well as other activities at Tiferet. He is a dedicated Torah scholar, an exciting teacher, and a dynamic community leader. We feel his love for all Jews and things Jewish will make him a great Rabbi for our congregation. We are very excited to have him and his family leading our congregation. Details regarding his starting date will be provided soon.

Enchantress by Maggie Anton
Fantastic tales of demons and the Evil Eye, magical incantations, and powerful attractions abound in Enchantress, a novel that weaves together Talmudic lore, ancient Jewish magic, and a timeless love story set in fourth-century Babylonia.
One of the most powerful practitioner of these mysterious arts is Rav Hisda’s daughter, whose innate awareness allows her to possess the skills men lack. With her husband, Rava—whose arcane knowledge of the secret Torah enables him to create a “man” out of earth and to resurrect another rabbi from death—the two brave an evil sorceress, Ashmedai the Demon King, and even the Angel of Death in their quest to safeguard their people, even while putting their romance at risk.
The author of the acclaimed Rashi’s Daughters series and the award-winning Rav Hisda’s Daughter: Apprentice has conjured literary magic in the land where “abracadabra” originated. Based on five years of research and populated with characters from the Talmud, Enchantress brings a pivotal era of Jewish and Christian history to life from the perspective of a courageous and passionate woman.

Tiferet Women’s Torah Study Group
Thursdays – 7pm to 8pm
Open to our Tiferet women members & invited guests
Each week on our own, we read the current Torah portion, explore commentary and insights, then come together to discuss and share what we’ve learned. We open the discussion with an overview of the Torah portion and then others are given the opportunity to share, ask questions, and discuss specific topics. By design, the format of this group allows women of all ages and levels of Torah study to come in and out as they can to participate, lead, or simply listen.
This current format of our meeting is on Zoom and a link is sent to those who RSVP or request to be placed on the Torah Study Group email list.
Morning Minyan is currently being held on Sundays at 8:00 AM and Tuesday and Friday Mornings at 7:00 AM, at Tiferet Israel. Please observe social distancing and health safety rules posted throughout the building. Learn more here…
