Hidden Charge
If you leave your cellphone charger plugged in all the time, up to 95% of the energy it consumes will go to waste.  You can tell that the charger is using electricity because it feels warm.  Always unplug your charger when it's not in use.

Barnert Temple participates once again in the CUMAC Annual Wish List program to provide holiday gifts to children living in poverty in Passaic County.

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 smkiel@outlook.com.  All gifts must be delivered to the Temple no later than November 11.
