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!

The Jewish Center and the Princeton Period Project
A project is underway in Princeton to which the Princeton Jewish Center can make a significant contribution. What follows is from its website:
www.princetonperiod.org
It's one of the best-kept secrets in our community and others: the need for feminine hygiene products (tampons and pads) for girls and women who don't have easy, reliable, affordable access to them.
A collection box is in the lobby and we will deliver your donations to the Princeton Cornerstone Community Kitchen, the organization managing this project.

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.
