Still Collecting for Mitzvah Mall Charities:
Help Raise Double Chai - $36,000 - for 10 Worthy Causes!
A Great Big "Thank You!" to everyone who participated in our 15 annual Mitzvah Mall on Sunday. A record number of
Barnert Temple Community members, friends, family and neighbors came out to learn about 10 carefully chosen grassroots organizations, the issues they are addressing and how to help. Adults studied Tzedakah and Social Justice with Rabbi Frishman. Religious school students talked about which charities resonated most for them (and why!), and directed their donations accordingly. Lucky winners took home fabulous raffle prizes. And everyone enjoyed the Men's Club Pancake Breakfast! Photos will be posted on our Web site soon.
We've already raised more than $30,581, and are well on our way to surpassing the $31,000 raised last year. We will continue collecting donations until the end of February. You can help us meet our new goal of double chai, $36,000, by:
Collecting Tzedakah and bringing it to the Office in envelopes marked clearly "For Mitzvah Mall"
