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!!!
