Green Tip For The Week

Minimal Lighting
Make sure that any outdoor lights around your home point downward, so they shine light only where it's really needed. Replace halogen lights with low-power compact fluorescent bulbs and switch them on only when they're required.

CUMAC Wish List 2016
cumac
Barnert Temple participates once again in the CUMAC Annual Wish List program to provide holiday gifts to children living in poverty in Passaic County.
Cumac is a former Mitzvah Mall Charity.  Many of the Wish List recipients are victims of abuse or neglect, have the added burden of residing in a homeless or battered women's shelter, or are coping with chronic or terminal illness such as HIV/AIDS.  These children are especially in need of a happy holiday season.  We have a list of children and gifts they would love to receive.
If you would like to participate by granting their wish and purchasing their gift, please contact Steve or Barbara Kiel at (201) 797-7965 or
[email protected].  All gifts must be delivered to the Temple no later than November 11.
