Green Tip For The Week



Don't Hide Heaters
In order to work properly, registers and other heaters need to have space to send out their heat, so don't tuck them behind sofas or draperies.

Shabbat-In-Sukkot Dinner Celebration

Friday, October 21, 7 pm

"Around The Tables" Potluck Supper
Join us for a special Potluck Supper and Shabbat celebration around dinner tables in our beautiful Social Hall.  We'll celebrate the season with an emphasis on story, song and supper.  (Kabbalat Shabbat and Kaddish for loved ones will be included.)  We'll welcome our newest to Barnert and honor the Board of Trustees.  If your last name begins with A-K, bring a main dish; L-Z, bring a salad or a side dish.  Please plan on bringing enough to serve 8 to 10 people.  Food should be "kosher style," that is, no pork or shellfish and no mixing of meat and dairy in the same dish.  Women of Barnert will provide the desserts.  RSVP to Natalie in the Temple Office at [email protected].  Bring your bags of groceries for our Food Drive!
