Mishkan HaLev: Prayers for S'lichot and the Month of Elul
 
This year we will use the brand new prayer book, 
Mishkan HaLev, for the first time.
 
Mishkan HaLev serves as a companion to Mishkan HaNefesh,
the Reform Movement's High Holy Day prayer book,
which we have been using for the last two years.
Mishkan HaLev offers two complete services:
one for Selichot, the Saturday night service before Rosh HaShanah,
and one to be used each Friday night during the month of Elul.
For the next three Friday nights we will use Mishkan HaLev
and its beautiful readings, poetry, meditations, commentary,
 and translations  to ready our hearts and minds
 to enter the High Holy Days.
 
Bring your Shofarot -
we will have the opportunity to be
awakened by the blast of the shofar
at the end of each service.


Mishkan HaLev is a special gift
from the
Temple Habonim Endowment Fund

founder of the Jewish Renewal Movement.
Together, they co-founded the Sufi-Hasidic, 
Inayati-Maimuni lineage of Sufism in 2004.

the Pir of the Inayati-Maimuni lineage.

TapIn is organizing a distribution of backpacks and school supplies for children of their clients. Back to school times are always difficult for persons in need because they have to stretch their limited budgets to buy school supplies for their children.

TapIn was just recently able to purchase 100 backpacks, but needs the supplies to fill them up. TapIn would not be able to do what they do without the ongoing support of Barrington's faith community and they are reaching out to all of the congregations in town to join in this activity. 

Temple Habonim will be accepting donations of new school supplies through Friday, August 11th - just drop them in the donation bin in the lobby during regular office hours (call ahead to make sure someone is here) or when you are here for services.
Ever thought about hosting an exchange student?

Ronnie Newman, longtime Temple Habonim member, is the eternal optimist. She refuses to throw in the towel in her attempt to find a few families who live in Barrington or Southeastern Mass. who are  members of the Temple and will step up to the plate and add a wonderful foreign exchange student to their family for a few weeks as a Welcome Family or even for 5-10 months as a permanent host family.

There are still students available from Thailand, Germany, Turkey, Italy and Spain who are waiting anxiously in their home countries to be placed here beginning in mid-August. They are all good students of high school age and interested in participating in a variety of sports, theater, dance, and/or musical groups.

These students are coming here through two different organizations based in Portland, Maine - CIEE and PanAtlantic Foundation for which Ronnie is the Local Coordinator/Area Representative.

If you are interested in knowing more about becoming a Welcome Family or long-term host family PLEASE CALL RONNIE TODAY (or tomorrow) at 401-247-1751 or 401-486-2824.
