Green Tip for the Week

Better Battery Habits

Most batteries leak toxic metals when discarded.  Instead, choose rechargeable alkaline manganese batteries, which are free from toxic metals.  Invest in a battery charger (solar is best), and teach everyone in your family how to use it.

If your last name begins with A-K, bring a main dish; L-Z, bring a salad or side dish.  Please plan on bringing enough to serve 8 to 10 people.  Food should be "kosher style," that is, no pork or shellfish and no mixing of meat and dairy in the same dish.  Women of Barnert will provide the desserts!  RSVP to Natalie Cohen at ncohen1847@barnerttemple.org
This is Your Last Chance to Vote for Justice,
Equality and Democracy in Israel:
Vote for ARZA in the World Zionist Elections
Voting ends April 30.

Today, Israel is at a Crossroads. 
Your Vote Will Make a Difference. 
As Reform Jews, we share a commitment to egalitarian worship, a wide welcome to those who wish to embrace Judaism, and a united Jewish People.  A vote for ARZA (Association of Reform Zionists of America) in the World Zionist Elections provides a voice in Israel promoting these values, supporting women's equality, and the basic rights of marriage, burial and Jewish Identity.
