Summer Food Tip

Hunger Doesn't Take a Summer Vacation! Summer is a difficult time for many families in need.  Additional childcare costs and no school lunches make it hard to feed a family.  Our Food Bank pantries are bare - bring your donation of canned goods to Barnert Temple - we'll get it to a needy family now!

Please E-mail your child's name, E-mail address, as well as his/her complete mailing address to Rikki Lowy at lowyland@msn.com.

And a few important housekeeping details:
  • If your child has been on this list previously, please send his/her address again, as we update this list each year.
  • If your child is studying away for a semester, please be sure to tell us which semester he/she will be away. Also, please indicate what year of study your student is in.
Please send us your child's contact information ASAP so he/she doesn't miss out on any of the holiday greetings and/or packages!!!

CallinShofar 2g All Shofar Blowers!

Have you blown shofar during the High Holidays in past years at Barnert?   Would you like to try blowing shofar this year for the first time?  If you answered "yes" to either question, we'd love for you to join our team of shofar blowers.  Join us on Monday, September 7, at 11:30 am, to learn about the importance of the shofar, the sounds it makes, and the technique needed.  E-mail Rabbi Steiner at rabbisteiner@barnerttemple.org to let her know you are interested and she will be in touch when the dates for the sessions are set!
