KIDS AWAY FROM HOME, SHOULDN'T BE AWAY FROM JUDAISM!

Your kids are our kids and we want to stay in touch with them as they journey through college. Wherever your college kids are, Rabbi Rank wants to send them a few messages during the year and a gift now and then. But he can't send anything without a proper address.

Postal regulations require complete addresses including apartment number and zip code. Even if you have already filled out a form in previous years, please fill it out again. Forms can be obtained in the Temple Office.

The kids move and we need to keep current with their new addresses. Graduate school students count, too. Please return the completed form as soon as possible. Let's keep our kids connected with the Jewish community.

SOCIAL ACTION NEWS

FEGS
The family that has been accepting your generous donations of food wishes to express their sincere gratitude for all your help during this difficult time. The family greatly appreciates all your donations and cards expressing good wishes. Unfortunately, the daughter, Sami, passed away in January after a long battle with lymphoma. The son is now a senior in high school and is hoping to get scholarship money so that he could attend college. The mother is trying to find work, but so far has been unsuccessful. They are still in need of food, so if you would like to help, please donate a Shoprite gift certificate and put it in an envelope labeled Social Action Food Donation. Please write the amount on the gift card. Include your name, address and phone number and place the envelope in the Social Action mailbox in the main office. In addition, they will be putting their house on the market in June. If anyone would like to donate their time to help with basic house repairs and handy work, contact Linda Weiss at LindaW418@awa-llc.com or call 933-8531. 

We Care Blankets
Thank you Lucy Simon for your beautiful crocheted baby blankets and hats. You did an outstanding job! Also, thank you to the women at the Atria Assisted Living Facility in Plainview for crocheting special blankets for the children. They all came out great! All the blankets will be wrapped in cellophane with colorful ribbons and then brought to children’s wards in hospitals. The babies, children and their families will be very happy to receive them. Your handmade blankets will keep the babies and children warm while undergoing chemotherapy. After their hospital stay they will take them home to keep. Your time, effort and good wishes is greatly appreciated! You can see photos of some of the blankets that were made displayed on the bulletin board outside the main office. If anyone would like to crochet or knit blankets or learn how to, please contact Linda Weiss at LindaW418@awa-llc.com or call 933-8531. Yarn donations are also appreciated.

UPCOMING B'NEI MITZVAH

My name is Sarah Fell. For my Bat Mitzvah Project, I am donating my time to Variety Children Learning Center in Syosset. Most Sundays I volunteer my time and work with Children who have Autism. These children are becoming very special to me. I love reaching out to them and I love how they reach out to me. This experience is incredibly rewarding for me. I am eager to help Fund Raise for this worthy organization. Variety is a place that promotes the development of children with learning, language and behavior challenges, including autism.

My fundraising efforts are two-fold. First, I am hoping you will donate your unwanted DVDs that your children have outgrown. A box will be set up at Midway for this collection. Secondly, I am selling Tie-Dyed Live Strong Bracelets that say: “GIVE KIDS A CHANCE”. And the back of the bracelets say “VARIETY”. They are $1 each. I hope you will support me in my endeavor to support Variety and all the Children that go there.
SARAH’S BAT MITZVAH IS ON OCTOBER 9, 2010. MAZAL TOV
