Birthdays are a perfect time <strong>to</strong> have a conversation about<br />
how many blessings there are in our lives <strong>and</strong> how important<br />
it <strong>is</strong> <strong>to</strong> share those blessings. At th<strong>is</strong> year’s birthday party,<br />
have your child identify one present that he or she would be<br />
willing <strong>to</strong> give <strong>to</strong> someone whose family cannot afford <strong>to</strong> buy<br />
their children presents. Come with your child <strong>to</strong> the <strong>Temple</strong><br />
office <strong>and</strong> exchange your gift for a beautiful certificate of<br />
appreciation signed by the clergy recognizing your child’s<br />
generosity on h<strong>is</strong> or her birthday. The certificate will be<br />
presented at the weekly Shabbat celebration. Gifts will be<br />
donated <strong>to</strong> families at Beyond Shelter. For more information,<br />
