Yom Kippur Food Drive Planning Committee The need for food is greater than ever and everyone is welcome to help plan the annual Yom Kippur Food Drive. The committee meets only twice a year and will be meeting on Wednesday, June 15th at 7:00pm at Beth El. Its a wonderful mitzvah and a fun committee as well. Each year, Beth El donates over 5 tons of food to the food shelf. Come and help make this year just as successful. We are on the move! The building is abuzz with activity: The Aleph School is busy unpacking their rooms. New furniture makes already beautiful rooms stunning. We look forward to filling the school with children as we prepare for the summer camp program. The main synagogue offices have officially moved from the coat closet to the upper level. This requires more than moving a few desks and boxes. The computer, phone, copy, security systems, etc. are currently being set up. The Ring lobby is one of the final areas receiving attention- new carpet and a new ceiling will make our entrance inviting and warm. Boxes fill the halls and a moving truck makes the drive back and forth to the warehouse bringing new loads on the hour. Outside, the sod is being laid, the irrigation system tested and the landscaping touched up. Inside, architects are working on a “punch list” of final items. Can you imagine all of this activity while continuing with a full program schedule: holding a Cuban art auction, Tikkun Leyl Shavu’ot, Stillman Weekend, Rabbi Abelson celebration, hosting the JFCS annual meeting, celebrating Tiny Treasures and on and on! Thank you to all the professionals and volunteers helping with this enormous task. Soon, the first phase of construction will be complete! B’nai Mitzvah Israel Bond Program Beth El and Israel Bonds continue to offer our B’nai Mitzvah an opportunity to invest in Israel Bonds. Through the generosity of our congregant, Fern Badzin, Beth El is able to match the amount of the investment. Please call the synagogue office for more information. Gifts Presented to the Bar/Bat Mitzvah A bar/bat mitzvah is a celebration not just for an individual family but for the entire Jewish community, indeed the entire Jewish people. Beth El Synagogue and the Minneapolis Jewish community generously give the following gifts in celebration of b’nai mitzvah: A personalized kiddush cup by Beth El’s Sisterhood & Men’s Club for Shabbat and Festivals. A matching contribution for those who invest in Israel Bonds through the generosity of Beth El congregant, Fern Badzin, to solidify the bond between b’nai mitzvah and Medinat Yisrael.
