| 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. |

| Fundraising
Opportunities Raise Money for TBA While Doing Your Every Day Shopping! |
||
 |
Buy
Your Cards Today! All you have to do is purchase gift cards from over 300 national and local retailers |
|
|
||
|
and use them in place of cash, checks, or credit cards for purchasing your for groceries, clothing, dining out, home improvement, and even gasoline! Each card purchased carries an associated “contribution” of 2-15% or more. 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! 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. |

Now in its second season, we are thrilled to be offer this program to our community! |
