Marsha Massey
Head Librarian

just click on the books!
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.

We hope to see the following students return for future celebrations/mitzvot:

Alexander Goldstein, Thomas Greb, Jonathan Helinek, Jacob Levine, Gregory Silverman, Jeffrey Taylor, and Ross Yager.

Temple Beth Am Social Programs
BASS (Beth Am Social Series)
  PROGRAMS & EVENTS
Designed Just For You

Understanding that our temple has a plethora of family-centered activities, but not as many events geared toward empty-nesters, we have launched a program which will be open to anyone, but specifically designed to be attractive to those whose lives no longer center on driving their children to and from their activities. Now in its second season, we are thrilled to be offer this program to our community!

BASS (Beth Am Social Series) is a series of social gatherings, both at the temple and off-site, where adults will have the opportunity to socialize with each other at a variety of different venues.

If you are interested in participating in any or all of the BASS events, please contact or email the co-chairs, Nancy Marcus or Cantor Schechtman for more information.
