In Episode 5 of Spiritually Speaking, we sit down with craftsman and longtime friend of Temple Beth Sholom, Tim Englert, for a heartfelt conversation about art, memory, tradition, and the creation of our new Torah ark.

Tim shares his personal journey as a woodworker, his deep connection to the TBS community, and the honor of creating a sacred piece that will hold both our Torahs and the spirit of our next chapter. Together, we explore what it means to honor the past while building something new — a vessel rooted in beauty, touch, history, and hope.

As Temple Beth Sholom moves from a sanctuary filled with decades of memories into a new home at the Rockland Jewish Community Campus, this episode reflects on continuity, craftsmanship, and the sacred journey we are taking together.
