SAVE THE DATE FOR PURIM PALOOZA:
Temple Beth Ami’s 50th Anniversary PURIM PALOOZA: It’s a Jungle in Here! will be held on Sunday, March 20th. There is no Machane TBA on that day so that all families can participate! This year’s PurimPalooza will be bigger and better than ever before, and there is no cost to attend. In addition, enjoy this year’s Purim spiel, Hakuna Magillah, which will be performed following the carnival. PURIM PALOOZA info
COLLECTION FOR CHILD WELFARE SERVICES:
Machane TBA is holding a drive to collect supplies needed for families and children in Child Welfare Services. On 4 nights during the year, TBAHigh students will be putting these supplies together into kits to help support vulnerable children and families. Click for flyer
8th graders will assemble kits on Tues, March 15. We would appreciate any contributions for these kits from any of our Machane TBA families! Sign up here: Sign up Genius.
On Sundays, look for the collection carts outside both Temple doors. On Tuesdays, have your student give their donation to their teacher. The TBAHigh class with the highest rate of participation will win a pizza party and campfire for their class in the spring! Questions about this drive? Contact Elaine Prigal.
TEMPLE BETH AMI BRICK CAMPAIGN:
This is a rare opportunity to show your support for Temple Beth Ami and leave your permanent mark. Make a donation of $180 or $360 and your personalized engraved brick will become part of the new entryway planned for our main synagogue entrance this year. Commemorate special milestone events such as births, Bar/Bat mitzvahs, confirmations, graduations, or other simchas. The D’Alessio family will generously match $100 for every member family’s brick donation! More information
