High Holiday Appeal
An Incredible Opportunity We can significantly strengthen our financial foundation thanks to a generous contribution from a BHBE family. They have instituted a matching a program this year such that any increase in High Holiday contribution over last year will be doubled. If no High Holiday contribution was made last year, this year's contribution will be doubled. We must make the most of this incredible opportunity. Every gift is of value particularly this year. Now more than ever if we pull together as a community with 100% participating at an increased level, we can make BHBE stronger this year and in the future.
Family Promise Volunteers are needed to help homeless families through Family Promise. BHBE has been asked to help when First Presbyterian Church and Sukkat Shalom host Family Promise September 8 - 15, and when St. John's Lutheran Church hosts September 22 - 28. To volunteer or for more information, including about new volunteer training, please contact Marc Primack, at 224-422-6335 or marcprimack@gmail.com.

The ARK All over the world, Jews fast on Yom Kippur, but everyday some Chicagoland Jews go hungry because they simply do not have the means to purchase enough food. When you fill a grocery bag with food for The ARK, you are directly providing nourishment for our friends and neighbors facing adversity. Bags will be available to fill with kosher food items and toiletries. Congregants will return them to BHBE from 9/9-10/24. These items will be delivered to The ARK and then distributed through its Food Pantry to the most vulnerable members of our community, which provide kosher food for approximately 1,500 individuals every month. We will have bags available, and the collection bins will be in place, starting on 9/9.
The ARK is a nonprofit, community-funded social service agency with a mission to help Chicagoland Jews who are facing adversity navigate toward self-reliance. ARK professionals, volunteers and donors provide free, comprehensive services within a framework of Jewish values and laws.
