| 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. |

Shabbt Unplugged CD Available Now! |

All the melodies you've come to sing along with at our monthly Shabbat Unplugged service are contained on this special CD. 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. The CD's also make great gifts, and as Chanukah approaches, think about supporting Temple Beth Am and sharing the original music (all written by our Maestro Stan Schertzer) with your family and friends. |

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. |
