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
COLLECTION FOR CHILD WELFARE SERVICES:
Machane TBA is holding a drive to collect supplies needed for families and children in Child Welfare Services. SNAP benefits (formally known as food stamps) do not cover household cleaning supplies or toiletries. Items being collected are shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes, dental floss, bar soaps, body lotion, hair brushes and combs, nail clippers and nail files. We can also use Amazon gift cards to purchase these items on your behalf (send to Elaine Prigal at eep@bethami.org). 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
11th graders put 20 kits together on Nov. 16! 12th graders will be assembling kits on February 1. Sign up to contribute items for the kits.
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!
