High Holiday Appeal
It's not too late While the holidays have past, there is still an opportunity to support BHBE with a High Holiday Appeal donation. If you contributed last year we are depending on you to give this year. Dues alone do not cover the cost of synagogue operations and programming. We depend on the High Holiday Appeal, our largest fund raiser of the year. The match, a gift from a BHBE family, will double all incremental increases over last year. Join the families that have already shown their support for our great synagogue. We're counting on you!
Even though Fall is here, we want to keep the beautiful vibrant colors alive and well with some of our new Judaica Shop items:
Left to right: Beautiful turquoise vase with lilac flowers, hummingbirds, and monarch butterflies; only $60 Small glass jewelry box adorned on the lid with the same design and colors as the vase; only $25 Jewelry box sitting atop our round marble cutting board atop a black base; only $40.
The gift shop will be open for your shopping pleasure: this Thursday evening, October 24th, at 7:00 pm before the Torah Fund event, Sunday, 9-Noon, Monday evening, October 28th, 5:30 pm before Sisterhood's Opening Dinner, as well as regular Tuesday hours from 3:45 pm- 5:45pm, and Wednesday morning, 9:30-11:30 am.
