Green Tip For The Week

Proper maintenance reduces waste!  Keep your appliances in good working order and follow the manufacturer's suggestions for operation and maintenance.  Shop for products with high consumer satisfaction and fewer breakdowns.  If kept in good working order, your appliances should last a long time and not end up as waste before their time. (Reprinted from: epa.gov/earthday/tips.htm)

choir
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 janetmontroy@gmail.com and she will provide you with rehearsal information.
Come Make Some Noise on the High Holidays!
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 rabbisteiner@barnerttemple.org to let her know you are interested and she will be in touch when the dates for the sessions are set! 
College Connection
college
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 lowyland@msn.com.
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 they will be away. Also, please indicate what year of study your student is in.
Please get us your child's contact information ASAP so they don't miss out on any of the holiday greetings and/or packages!!!
Do you have a BT vehicle identification sticker?

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.
