Green Tip For The Week

Indoor Herb Garden.  A small indoor herb garden adds greenery to a home while providing fresh, flavorful accents for winter recipes.  Basil, thyme, oregano, sage, and parsley are great herbs for beginning gardeners.  Place your plants in a spot where they'll receive at least five hours of sunlight.  Keep the soil moist and enjoy your locally grown herbs all winter!

2015 Is Coming to a Close:
There Is Still Time to Make Your
Barnert Financial Contributions
"Without Bread There is No Torah...
Without Torah There is No Bread"  (Pirke Avot 3:17)  
There is Still Time to Make Your Free Will Donation, Pay Your Annual Financial Commitment in 2015
The Rabbbis who wrote Pirke Avot knew that without the support of your Jewish Community, life loses some of its richness.  Check with your financial advisor about the best way to handle your financial commitments to Barnert Temple.  Your generosity will support the continuity of the Barnert Community and Judaism.
