The High Holidays are right around the corner. 
Barnert Temple has a security program which includes the issuing of numbered vehicle identification stickers to ALL Full and Associate Members of Barnert Temple.  These vehicle identification stickers assist security guards in more easily identifying unfamiliar vehicles. Thanks for your help in making Barnert a safe, secure and comfortable environment.
 
If you do not have a BT sticker currently on your vehicle, please call Natalie in the Temple Office at (201) 848-1800 and arrange to pick up your sticker.

Do you have a child away at school?
Barnert would love to stay connected! Just provide us with your student's name and address, and we will periodically send messages from Rabbi Frishman, Rabbi Steiner and Sara Losch, as well as care packages with holiday greetings and upbeat messages! 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!!!
