Beth El, TBS teens build Israel connection during Confirmation trip
|
|
Some 40 South Jersey teens felt their connection to Israel grow through powerful experiences, including seeing the Negev in bloom and praying—not just at the Kotel in Jerusalem, but also on many mountaintops—during their Confirmation trip to Israel Dec. 17 to Jan. 1, said Cong. Beth El Rabbi Andy Green. They also gained a better appreciation of the Jewish value of kavod habriyot (human dignity) by visiting the Dialogue in the Dark exhibit in Holon, said Temple Beth Sholom Rabbi Micah Peltz, who was on his 10th Confirmation trip. The group included students and chaperones from TBS and Beth El, who were joined by peers from five other shuls from the Main Line and Baltimore.

How Are Endowment Funds Benefiting Our Community?
|
|
Endowment funds established by generous donors with the Jewish Community Foundation Inc. provide important annual financial resources to benefit individuals and organizations in SNJ.
For example, read more about the Patrice Faye Cohen Memorial Scholarship Award Endowment Fund, and learn how one woman’s legacy will carry on by supporting entrepreneurial young women in their college endeavors.
Also, with Super Sunday here, anybody can establish an Annual Campaign Endowment Fund to benefit future generations in our Jewish community. It can be easy to do and cost you nothing during your lifetime.
Thank you for your generosity and consideration!
