Breathing room, I think not.
Rabbi Daniel “Danny” Price’s openness and spirit guides us through our Shabbat services. Our rabbi is a talented musician and adds to our services with music and singing. He has also created an educational program for us to learn and discuss relevant topics impacting us in today’s world (more on that to come). Eliyanah Powers, cantorial soloist, has a voice par excellence which cannot be compared. Dr. Joshua Nichols, accompanist, is a fine musician and composer. Coming to services is not only spiritual, but the musical quality is superb as we are guided through our prayers and liturgy.
We Cannot Say Thank You Enough
Having a facility that allows us to observe and practice our traditions is a blessing. Father Huy Vu and his congregation of the Santa Catalina Catholic Church have warmly welcomed us. The appreciation of our congregation is limitless as we celebrate our Shabbat services in peace and reflection. Thank you!

How We Grow and Homework!
In September the board met with Rita Pollak to learn how to work as a team, create goals, and define objectives. Rita is a true professional. Her abilities as a collaborative family law attorney, facilitator, and mediator guided us through several exercises. We defined action items. Rita did all of this in a few hours! In my opinion, she is remarkable!
B’nai Midbar is a welcoming congregation. If you wish to join our congregation or if you have questions, please feel free to contact Esta Goldstein at 520-825-1181 for information.
