Rhoni Tannebaum Receives
Annual "Dougie" Member of the Year Award
Temple Beth Or's annual Dougie Award is named in honor of founding member, lay-cantor and multiple-term President, Douglas "Dougie" Schwartz, and is awarded to the member or members whose actions in the previous year exemplified dedication to Jewish values and commitment to the welfare of the Temple Beth Or Community. This year's recipient is Rhoni Tannebaum.
In the past year, Rhoni chaired the committees responsible for our highly successful Bazaar and the unforgettable luncheon honoring Norma Salz. She also offered her support to other projects during the year and still found the time to lead the effort that resulted in the new chairs that now grace the Temple Sanctuary.
Relationships are at the heart of Jewish values. The relationship of the individual with the divine, and also her relationships with the community and its individual members. Rhoni's actions embody this fundamental value. Her ability to attract others to join her in serving the community and the respect and affection that she has earned from her co-workers in the efforts that she led speak more than any words can.
Congratulations to Rhoni Tannebaum, Temple Beth Or Member of the Year 2011-2012. Yasher koach, Rhoni!

Superb Father's Day or Grad Gift
A brand new Invicta chronograph men's watch was graciously donated to our garage sale fundraiser. We contacted the company and learned the approximate value is $500.00 to $1,000, obviously not a garage sale item. Before eBaying it, we are checking with membership and friends.
This watch is handsome and big. It was made in 2011 and is still wrapped in the protective plastic and in the original box. It would be a superb Father's Day or Grad gift.
Specs are as follows: Stainless Steel, Japan Movement, Water Resistant, 50M/165 Ft., Model #1B141704-001.
The front dial has the I logo, the back has the Invicta name with a larger logo. The instruction sheet says: Operation Manual ... VD8 Retrograde Series.
We are open to all offers. Email is preferred so we have your offer in writing: bethortemple@aol.com |

Garden and Grounds 
Beth Or's ORGANIC GARDEN continues to grow!
Though our Organic Garden lacks a green-thumb Team, we have:
a) a dozen new Collard plants working to survive the summer heat
b) 5 new Banana trees (Red Dwarf, Sweet Heart, Ice Cream, Goldfinger, Sweet Heart, Mona Lisa varieties) and
c) Working closely with nature we also raise some Wild Edibles
More News:
- The Beth Or Irrigation system will be upgraded thanks to a $2,800 grant.
- The Potting Shed has a fresh coat of 'Leprechaun Green' paint and was tidied up by Noli Matzulis.
- We support the Childrens' World Montessori School's organic gardening efforts under the direction of Lead Teacher, Mary Argumendo.
Do's and Don'ts:
- Don't step on a bed (your weight compresses the soil, reducing 'friability')
- If you don't know what to do-ASK
- Learn as much as you can about organic-veganic methods- Rodale's magazine is a good resource
Kavanah by Rabbi Mark "...to help build up our people, our institutions and our strength so that we continue to l'takein olam b'malchut Shaddai, to 'repair the world under the kingdom of heaven.' Let's get our hands deliciously "dirty" in this endeavor as we grow and sustain our beloved community."
Veganically Yours,
Jeff Tucker,
Garden Manager
