Sukkot in Spring with TSMRJ
Sunday, May 3
We are joining forces with members of Temple Micah in a Yachad Sukkot in Spring project. Volunteers will work on needed renovations at a house whose owners cannot afford to pay contractors to do. Experience (and your own tools) is a plus but not necessary. Projects generally include tasks that can be done by children over 10 years old, so bring the whole family. Email us for more details about the project, including location and exact times.

Crucial Vote: Act Now
Vote Before April 30
The World Zionist Congress election has a critical impact on the Reform movement in Israel. Millions of dollars are allocated by this election. ARZA, the Association of Reform Zionists of America, represents our movement and currently holds 56 of the United States 145 seats. The more votes cast for ARZA, the more funding goes to Reform activities in Israel. A registration fee of $10 ($5 if under 30 years old) is charged; that is the only restriction. Voting ends April 30. VOTE NOW to influence a just, equal, pluralistic future for Israel!
