Holiday Collection for  

Chapman's Babies    

....is up and running!  

In lieu of collecting toys or gifts for the holidays, we are going to collect needed items for Chapman's babies.  Most needed are diapers, formula, bibs, bottles and the like, particularly consumable items that constantly need to be replenished. 

The collection will run through the end of December.

A box is currently in the Oneg Room for your convenience.

Chinese Food Night

 

 Second Annual Chinese Food Night

 

December 24- 7:00 

at the Spectors--8822 SW 146 Ct.

305 382-0762

The deadline for reservations has long since come and gone. If you've placed your order with Bette, Morris, or Rose and paid for your food, you're in fine shape.

Otherwise, if you're wanting to join the party at the last minute, then you're on your own for food.

•  First, let the Spectors know immediately by phone or email: 305-382-0762 or bettespector@gmail.com so they can count you in for drinks and setup items. 
•   Second, pick up your own take-out and bring it with you

Soft drinks and coffee will be served.  If you want anything stronger, it's strictly BYO! 

 

 

 

Beth Or's  ORGANIC  GARDEN
...continues to grow! 

Let's put the 'Or' in 'Organic"

Certified Florida Master Gardeners Wilfredo and Candy Candelaria promise support for

Beth Or's Organic Garden and Campus Edibles Program, 2015.

They offer a Seminar on Garden Veggies.

a) Most Green Thumb congregants could use more practical training:

b) what about seasonal variations

b) wisely allocate volunteer time or tend your own plot

c) general education for your appreciation and application of gardening skills

d) Temple plans to convert some decorative space into HERBS/MEDICINALS

I'm not able to run a Garden Club but a few committed diggers/planters/harvesters could

bring our Garden areas to life - you have the infrastructure; we can do something to start using it.

Help pick a date for this Seminar on Garden Veggies - - one Sunday afternoon in the coming weeks?

This wont happen unless you want it to, a few voices can be heard in the silence we now have around our Gommunity Garden.

I'm sure the Candelaria's will make their presentation worthwhile for you in our Lighthouse Cafe.

Will this become The Opportunity to cultivate your own plot at Beth Or or help our next communal crops of:  bananas, papayas, other edibles, herbs and medicianals!?

We're also submitting a grant proposal to improve the irrigation for many edibles on campus!

Kavanah~ Rabbi Mark:  "...to help build up our people, our institutions and our strength so that we continue to l'takein olam b'malchut Shaddai, '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."

Story:  We are Shomrei Adamah, Guardians of the Earth or Keepers of the Garden of Eden.  To start off we will be practical and do whatever works- but we aspire to the highest standards of earth ethics summarized by Organic/Veganic Gardening. We will carefully select the veggies and herbs to maximize output, balanced cultivation, companion planting, insect control etc. With today's high prices for quality veggies and herbs, a garden is economically desirable.  Plus it is part of a healthy lifestyle, good education, and a social communal experience.  All those with green (or any color) thumbs are welcome to cultivate with us.
