Starting a TriBE
Want to Serve as a TriBE Leader?
If you would like to lead a TriBE, Temple Beth El is honored to offer you training, workshops, and ongoing coaching support. Being a TriBE Leader does not require any specialized knowledge of Jewish text or tradition. We will provide easy-to-follow materials to guide your discussions. You will never be alone in this process. If you want to be a TriBE Leader, please contact Andy Harkavy, Director of Congregational Engagement & Communications or call 704-366-1948.
TriBE Leaders will:
- Coordinate schedule and location for your TriBE gatherings. These may take place in members’ homes, offices, or in any other comfortable location outside of the synagogue.
- Communicate with members regarding meeting times and distribute materials.
- Facilitate group conversations or arrange for rotating facilitation by other members. Delegating and empowering other members will strengthen your TriBE.
- Debrief with the Director of Congregational Engagement, Andy Harkavy, regarding your TriBE experience.
- Consult TriBE Coach and/or TriBE Core Leadership Team as needed.
