REMINDER:  Beth Israel is still selling grocery gift cards for Acme, Giant, & Shoprite.  The Synagogue earns 5% on every card sold.  We are also still collecting cash register receipts for Acme.  This is a painless way to help Beth Israel raise additional funds.  Cards can be purchased Sunday mornings during Religious School or during the week from the Synagogue office.

 

Shabbat Shalom,
