The High Holy Days Food Drive
High Holy Days Food Drive: Please contribute to the HHDs Food Drive now through Simchat Torah. Find the donation barrel in the lobby! In addition to canned goods and nonperishables, purchase grocery shopping cards from Ellen Grady (treasurer@bstva.org) to donate to the collection, or make an otherwise financial donation to the Food Bank through BST! Last year we collected 1000 pounds of food. The year before we collected 1103 lbs.
Let’s beat both these totals this year!
What does social action committee do?
On a daily basis, many of us serve and give of ourselves without fanfare or recognition. We are a caring and loving congregation that lives up to the highest ideals of Judaism. Social action has always been an integral part of congregational life at Beth Sholom Temple. Our activities have exemplified the Jewish values of community engagement, service, justice, and peace. The role of the Social Action Committee is to stimulate and support the performance of mitzvot by our members, especially those that help others beyond the Temple community. See the box below for some of the events that we have organized and/or participated in over the past year.
