Green Tip For The Week



Make it a full load!  The average washing machine uses 40.9 gallons of water per load.  If you buy a new washer, shop for a high-efficiency washer that needs less than 28 gallons of water per load.  To achieve even greater savings, wash only full loads of laundry or be sure to choose the appropriate load size on the washing machine.  (Reprinted from: epa.gov/earthday/tips.htm)

Ring the bells that still can ring

Rabbi Frishman's Seminar:  Polarization or Shalom?
Next Session:  Monday, August 22, 7:30 pm 
Polarization or Shalom
Seminar with Rabbi Frishman based on Jonathan Haidt's book:
The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion
"I hate you, you hate me, can't we be a happy family?"
In this political year, let's discuss how to get along with people we disagree with strongly. Haidt's important work applies biology and psychology towards understanding the development of morality, and the shaping of groups and communities.
Please acquire Haidt's book as reading preparation must be done in advance of each session.
  • Monday, August 22, 7:30 pm:  The Origins and Shaping of Morality (Read Part II)
  • Monday, August 29, 7:30 pm:  Morality Binds and Blinds (Read Part III)
If you are planning to attend this seminar, RSVP to Lori at [email protected] or (201) 848-1800.
College Connection

Do you have a child going away to 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 [email protected].

A few important details:

 
  • This list is created from scratch each year. There are so many changes with our college students from year to year, so even if your child was on the list last year and nothing has changed, please send in their information!
  • 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 get us your child's contact information ASAP so he/she doesn't miss out on any of the holiday greetings and/or packages!!!

The High Holidays are right around the corner.

Thanks for your help in making Barnert a safe, secure and comfortable environment.

Shofar 2 Calling 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.  We will offer a session to teach you how to blow the shofar and learn about its importance.  E-mail Rabbi Steiner at [email protected] to let her know you are interested and she will be in touch when the dates for the sessions are set! 
Lend Your Voice To The Adult Choir On The High Holidays!

We're looking for more voices to enhance Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services.  It's fun; the music is easy to learn; you'll be fully engaged in our High Holiday services, and you'll join a very special group at Barnert Temple! We are planning a special introductory rehearsal for new singers so if you have not sung with our Choir before, you still can! Contact Janet at [email protected] and she will provide you with rehearsal information.
