We have covered a lot of ground, geographically, socially, and ethnically. We hope there is something that tugs at your heart and makes you want to help out. Our shul has come a very long way but there is still some distance to yet cover. WON'T YOU HELP!!!! From the Beth El News..... April / May 2010 Social Action has truly made a difference at Beth El this year and certainly for our community. February was busy month not only did we collect childrens books to be donated, we were very busy planning out one year anniversary celebration. In honor of our new synogue we hosted a community wide charity to raise money for Haiti. We had volunteers from all over the community, as well as from our own Beth El community. The event focused on raising money for the RedCross which directly went to the relief efforts in Haiti. We had a craft bazaar, a blood drive, bone marrow registry, a concert for the family- what a huge day. I hope all of you had an opportunity to celebrate our anniversary with us by giving back. We partnered with many organizations and congregations arms to make it such a successful event. In the midst of all this, Beth El still collected for JFCS Food Pantry because they were very low and asked for our assistance. Thankyou all for donating and volunteering and just supporting your Beth El community and community at large. Please don't think it is time to rest because spring is upon us and a very busy time for celebration for our teens, it is prom season. This April we are hoping to help the boys and girls club in Camden assist their teens in having a wonderful night. We are collecting all evening wear attire and accessories, for both male and female, Please have the clothes cleaned that you donate and on a hanger we will have racks there for you to put them on. This is a special time when teens really want to feel wonderful lets do our best to make this possible. Of Course May is breast cancer awareness month and we will have our special pink shabbat, Walk for the Cure Team and a way for you to donate to breast cancer. So please get involved, come to the service which is for all who need healing, walk with your congregation to make a difference. All tzedakah will go to Susan B. Komen Foundation.Have a wonderful spring and dont forget to save those school supplies for our summer collection.. Sincerely, Michelle Alberti-Billig & Cathy Backal
