TREX CHALLENGEE

Save - and keep saving - those plastic bags!
M’kor Shalom's new Green Group has launched the TREX CHALLENGE, a synagogue-wide effort to collect thousands of plastic film and bags to be turned into sustainable outdoor materials.
M’kor Shalom will collect the plastic bags in our parking lot on designated days each month, then weigh and deliver them to Trex. Our goal is 500 pounds of recycled plastic in six months. In return, we receive a beautiful Trex bench made from recycled plastic. A win-win for us and the environment.

Books We Often Overlook:
A dialogue with Proverbs, Samuel and Kings and how they speak to our current lives
Led by Rabbi Richard Address
Three Wednesdays, October 14, 21 & 28
The Bible is filled with fascinating books that rarely are examined. In this series, we will look at three such books that, while ancient, speak greatly to our contemporary world.
October 14: Proverbs. A collection of sayings and practical pieces of advice. From family dynamics to child rearing and more, wait until you see how much they speak to the world in which we live.
October 21: The Books of Samuel. What does it mean to have to transfer power? How do you pick a successor who may be guaranteed to fail? What happens when religion and government get mixed up with each other?
October 28: The Books of Kings. Oh my, King David, who gets away with immorality and political manipulation, Solomon and the civil wars between Israel and Judea.
There is no cost for congregants. $10/person per session for non-members.
Zoom information will be sent (approximately a week in advance of the first session) to everyone who has registered.
