| We have a wonderful library at Temple Beth Am, which is available to the students of our Religious School as well as to our Membership at large. |
|
Library |
| READING
IS A MITZVAH WE DO FOR OURSELVES This is the theme of this year's Library reading incentive program for the students of the Religious School. The fun begins when students check out books and then sign their names on colorful patches shaped like dreidels, stars of David, rectangles, flowers, hamantaschen, etc. The patches have been used to create a paper quilt of many colors. This was accomplished with such speed, that a second mitzvah quilt is in the works. The completed quilt can be viewed on the bulletin board, as you enter the Library. |

| Sisterhood Fundraiser | "My Pet Oughta Be In Pictures" | ||
 |
The Sisterhood of Temple Beth Am launches its new fundraiser for the fall of 2012: A Temple Beth Am calendar entitled: “TEMPLE BETH AM: HOUSE OF THE PEOPLE...AND THEIR PETS” This calendar will be a heart-warming collage of all our beloved animals. Our calendar will include Jewish holidays, and we plan on including important TBA events and Temple Beth Am Religious School dates & programs (as available at press time). |
|
|
||
|
All net proceeds raised from this fundraiser will go to the Sisterhood of TBA for the programs and events it sponsors throughout the year. Click Here and please fill out the required form. You may clip and send it to Temple Beth Am (300 Pleasant Street, Framingham MA 01701), or drop it off in the main office. For you more "skilled" individuals...copy and paste to a separate email and send to Nikki Davidson with the subject line: TBA pet calendar. The calendar will be available in late August 2012. Your pets’ individualized photo session will be scheduled at a later date this spring. Nikki will contact you to arrange a time and date to bring your pet to Temple Beth Am. We want to maintain the consistency of all the photos used in the calendar. Therefore all pet photos will be taken by Nikki Davidson, no exceptions. We understand that some members may not want to bring their pet to the temple, but please recognize that Nikki cannot make house calls to do these individual sessions. For those pet owners with "caged" animals....special arrangements will be made to accommodate the security of your pet. Please let Nikki know if you have such a requirement. |

You'll have the opportunity to learn the music even better so that when you come to services, you'll be able to participate in every prayer.

Opportunities Raise Money for TBA While Doing Your Every Day Shopping! |
||
 |
Buy
Your Scrip Cards Today! |
|
|
||
|
With scrip fundraising (gift cards) , you simply do your regular weekly shopping with gift cards from America's favorite retailers. With each purchase, Temple Beth Am earns cash rebates that can quickly add up to tens of thousands of dollars a year. Need gift ideas for the holidays? Click here Here's something to think about: An organization of 150 families easily spends between one and two million dollars a year on these purchases. If we, the members of TBA, do the majority of this shopping with Scrip, we can raise as much as $40,000 to $80,000 per year, if not more! Return the order
form (Click
Here For Your Scrip Order Form) and check to Ellen in the office
by the due date (usually the first Tuesday of each month). Pick
up your order the following Monday. It is that easy. Please help
support your Temple Beth Am. For details and more information, contact Stu Sheinhait or call the temple office at 508-872-8300. |
||
 |
Stop
& Shop Gift Cards The cards are purchased for face value, and 5% of each card purchased is donated to TBA. This is an easy way for the temple to raise monies at no additional cost to you. |
|
|
||
|
Be sure to stop
by the temple office to purchase as many cards as you want for yourself,
for your college student, or as a gift for someone. Payment
must be made at the time of purchase. |
