Our annual Project Isaiah food drive officially launches this week. We will have Food Bank barrels in the vestibule and a tzedakah box for cash or checks.

We are not providing bags this year, but please see the Food Bank web site here for what food items are most useful. Also, note their comment here that they can provide up to 75 meals for each $25 donation.

Our Facebook Project Isaiah donation page is another very handy way to participate. Please consider our food insecure neighbors during this joyous season.

Help Us Celebrate Debbie Kaplan!

 
For 30 years, Debbie Kaplan has been an extraordinary part of the Congregation Beth Shalom family, helping nurture our community and touch the lives of generations of children and families. As Debbie prepares to retire, we have the opportunity to celebrate her remarkable years of service and the many ways she has helped strengthen our congregation l’dor v’dor—from generation to generation.
 
Please mark your calendars for Friday, October 9, when we will gather to celebrate Debbie and wish her a wonderful retirement. More details about the celebration will be coming in later weeks.
 
But we need your help now. We are collecting photographs, short notes, favorite memories, anecdotes, and brief video messages that capture what Debbie has meant to you, your family, or our Beth Shalom community. Whether it’s a special moment you remember, a funny story, a picture from years ago, or simply a few words of gratitude, we would love to hear from you.
 
Please send your contributions to thanksdebbiekaplan@gmail.com.
 
Help us fill this celebration with the memories, stories, and menschlichkeit that have made Debbie such a special part of our community.
 
L’Shalom,
 
Marc Alexander
Education Committee Chair / Vice President, Board of Directors
 
P.S. Please do not send large media files. If you are concerned, zip the file and send it that way so that I can (hopefully) receive it.
 
P.S.S. If you know of a long-lost, far-flung individual who entered Debbie’s orbit and should know about this celebration, please pass it along!!  Thanks so much!
