Do You Remember Your Bar or Bat Mitzvah
Date???
A brand-new initiative from the Religious Affairs Committee! We would like to help you commemorate your bar/bat mitzvah anniversary on the
bimah
- no matter how recently or how long ago the original date was.
You could...
- Have an Aliyah
- Chant part or all of your Haftarah (if there is no current bar/bat mitzvah that day)
- Read Torah again!
Feeling rusty? We'll get you back up to speed!
It's never too late!

Casseroles for TASK
Please support the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen
By preparing a vegetarian/fish/dairy casserole
And dropping it off at TJC
Your contribution of a casserole will make
a difference in someone's life.
- Follow one of the recipes listed below, check the website for additional recipes (www.thejewishcenter.org/Participate-With-Us/Social-Action)or use your own recipe.
- Aluminum tins and pre-printed labels are available in the TJC office or use your own disposable tin.
- After you bake your casserole, BE SURE TO COVER WITH SEVERAL LAYERS OF ALUMINUM FOIL. Freeze. Then put the casserole in a plastic bag and bring to TJC's dairy freezer (kitchen on the left).
- To make sorting easier for our deliverer, print a label (www.thejewishcenter.org/Participate-With-Us/Social-Action), mark the checkoff box for "Tuna," "Bean/Lentil," Pasta/Cheese" or "Other" and tape to your casserole.
