SUMMARY:Brotherhood Panel: AI in Action
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is talking about AI…but what do you actually DO about it? \nJoin Temple Beth El Brotherhood for a dynamic evening of “AI IN ACTION”\, exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we live\, work\, and connect. \nThis interactive\, town-hall style event will feature three leading experts shaping the future of AI. \nPanelists include: \n\nKarin Klein\, Founding Partner at Bloomberg Beta\, an early-stage venture capital firm investing in the future of work and artificial intelligence.\nMatt Savarick\, CEO and Co-Founder of Vibe GTM\, helping organizations scale intelligently through AI-powered systems that multiply human potential.\nTanner Stevens\, AI Product Strategy Principal at Slalom\, known for building responsible\, audit-ready AI systems across industries from finance to healthcare.\nModerated by William Haas Evans\, founder of Fugue and global expert in foresight and human-centered design\, the evening will blend discussion\, live audience exercises\, and community dialogue.\n\nThis isn’t a lecture. It’s a town hall and networking opportunity. \nBring your questions\, our experts will bring frameworks forged in billions of dollars of real-world AI experience. We’ll have live exercises so you experience AI firsthand\, not just hear about it. \nRegister\nAbout the Panelists\nKarin Klein is a founding partner at Bloomberg Beta\, an early-stage venture capital firm investing in the future of work with a focus on artificial intelligence. Prior to launching Bloomberg Beta\, she led new initiatives at Bloomberg\, oversaw Softbank’s venture team that reviewed new investments\, and co-founded an educational training business for children. Karin also currently serves on the board of directors for Regency Centers and Paramount and enjoys volunteering as a mentor with Techstars\, the University of Toronto’s Creative Destruction Lab\, and the New York City Economic Development Corporation. She has an M.B.A. from The Wharton School and is a summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the Annenberg School of Communications and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. \n  \nMatt Savarick is CEO and Co-Founder of Vibe GTM\, where he helps B2B companies install AI-powered revenue systems that scale without burnout. With 15+ years scaling companies like Headspace and Talkspace\, Matt specializes in building what he calls “compounding leverage” – systems that multiply output without multiplying effort. His Lean Revenue Engine™ has helped 100+ executives generate over $500M in new revenue while doubling efficiency per employee. Drawing on expertise in neuroscience and behavioral science\, Matt bridges cutting-edge AI implementation with human-centered leadership\, helping organizations grow intelligently rather than just growing bigger. \n  \nTanner Stevens is a rare AI builder-strategist who repeatedly turns frontier ideas into dependable\, audit-ready systems at scale.  He creates knowledge-linked generative applications\, document intelligence pipelines\, and vision-driven decision tools that respect privacy by default and operate near the point of work—even in demanding field environments.  His impact spans telecom\, finance\, public sector\, healthcare\, sports\, and travel\, with launches for organizations such as Moody’s Analytics\, Warner Brothers\, Boulder\, Comcast\, CareFirst\, and Janus Henderson Investors.  Beyond inventing breakthrough capabilities\, he installs the surrounding production discipline—repeatable evaluation\, live oversight\, and release practices—so the innovation endures and earns trust from boards\, regulators\, and front-line operators alike.  Known for creative yet defensible applications—agentic workflows with immutable\, policy-approved content; small-data strategies (self-supervised pre-training\, K-Fold\, synthetic data) that reach production-grade quality—Tanner pairs scientific rigor with operational credibility to deliver AI that ships\, scales\, and stands up to audit. \n  \nWilliam Haas Evans integrates foresight and strategy with Human-Centered Design to help global organizations adapt\, shape\, and grow their markets. He founded Fugue\, a boutique strategic advisory firm working with global clients to navigate complex transitions and build sustainable futures. Will has led strategic initiatives for Fortune 50 companies across diverse industries\, including Johnson & Johnson\, Whirlpool\, Autotrader\, and Hearst. He has designed and launched game-changing unicorns like Kayak.com and Honey\, and transformed enterprise product organizations to accelerate cultures of continuous discovery and delivery. \nInspired by the next generation of design thinkers and lean innovators\, Will served as the first Design-Thinker-in-Residence at NYU’s Stern School of Business. He has run design hackathons with Simon Sinek at TED Global and keynoted internationally on foresight\, strategy\, innovation\, and service design at conferences including SxSW\, TEDx\, Dubai Futures Forum\, GCGC Riyadh\, and Agile Alliance. \nWill earned his Master’s from MIT in Cognitive and Brain Science and Human-Computer Interaction\, and a Bachelor’s in Mathematics from Occidental College. He is JONAH-certified in Theory of Constraints from the Goldratt Institute in Israel. Will lives in Boca Raton with his wife\, Rabbi Laila Haas\, and their five-year-old son Asher\, who is embracing beginner’s mind and developing his craft as a designer.

SUMMARY:Shugar Family Introduction to Judaism Program
DESCRIPTION:Interested in a deeper understanding of the basics of Jewish life or thinking about converting to Judaism? Then Temple Beth El’s Introduction to Judaism class might be for you. This 18-session weekly course taught by our clergy with other experts in the community covers topics such as holidays\, customs\, life-cycle events\, values\, theology\, prayers and rituals\, Jewish texts\, history\, and Hebrew. \nIntroduction to Judaism is open to Jews and non-Jews alike. Often\, a Jewish partner\, friend\, or family member will choose to accompany the prospective convert to the classes. This class is also useful for non-Jews who do not intend to convert but are interested in learning more about Judaism. It is also helpful for people who were born and raised as Jews but feel as though they never received a solid Jewish education. All are welcome. \nPlease note: this is not a drop-in course. Registration is required for the full 18-session program so participants can enjoy the complete learning experience. \nRegister\nContact Aileen Spilka\, Clergy Senior Associate\, at ASpilka@tbeboca.org or call 561-391-8900 for more information.
