Community Card 5776
Beth El's Community New Year's Card is now in the synagogue lobby, waiting for you to send New Year's greetings to your Beth El friends. You can send those good wishes without having to sign and mail individual cards AND you'll be doing a double mitzvah: funds raised through the community Card will be given to the Eric Pas Camp Scholarship Fund to help send more kids to Jewish camps next summer. It's easy to participate in this project: simply send a donation to the synagogue, earmarked for the Community Card. Your name will be included for everyone to see. The greeting card project is sponsored by the Synagogue Life Committee. Our goal --fill the card with names and help send more kids to camp.
If you would like to make a donation to the community card, visit Community Card 5776.
