Now in its second century, Temple Beth Israel is a caring community where each person truly makes a difference. Whether you’re the 10th at a weekday minyan, or participate in our varied social, educational, religious, cultural, and family programs, we welcome you and your family to Temple Beth Israel for the 2017-2018 year.
As approved at its annual meeting in August 2016, Temple Beth Israel welcomes non-Jewish members of Jewish households to join the synagogue with their Jewish spouses or partners in a family membership. Privileges of membership are specified in the Temple Beth Israel bylaws.
Membership
We welcome all members to give at a level in which they are comfortable, and ensure the congregation will meet its budgeted expenses. In assessing recommended
membership contributions for the coming year, the Board of Directors has elected to keep the sustaining membership model introduced last year. We calculate this sustaining amount by subtracting from our total annual operating budget the amount of income available from sources other than membership and High Holy Day pledges, and then dividing the difference by the expected number of members.

Two GRALTA Foundation activities:
- A summer film series
- Walking the Abraham Trail
(more about that in a future email)
|
|
A Three Film Series
2017 is the 50th Anniversary of the 1967 Six-Day War and the Occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, and the Gaza Strip. We note it with a film series that explores the Occupation and reveals its impacts.
While motives, goals, and approaches may differ, just about everyone--right wingers and left wingers--is now calling loudly for an end to the 50-year occupation of the West Bank. These films will explain why so many view this as an imperative, yet without consensus on how to effect that result .
We'll show a film every two weeks. If there is significant interest, we can add a fourth film to the schedule.
All films will be shown in Bemis Hall's "cool" basement screening room.
- As with past events, we'll screen each film twice—first on a weekday evening and then on a Sunday afternoon.
- We'll serve light refreshments and there will be time for discussion and Q&A.
The other films in the series:
Sunday, August 6, 2 PM
Open Bethlehem, Leila Sansour's moving documentary about her home town
Wednesday, August 16, 7:30 PM
Sunday, August 20, 2 PM
Based on your feedback, we'll select either:
The Law in These Parts, Ra'anan Alexandrowicz's award-winning Israeli documentary that uses interviews and historical footage to chronicle how Israel created the military legal system in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
or
Five Broken Cameras
, the Oscar-nominated documentary compiled from video shot in the West Bank village by resident Emad Burnat and co-directed by Israeli filmmaker Guy Davidi. In addition to its theatrical release, this film was featured on the PBS Series Point of View (POV) in 2013.
We invite you to join us and hope that you will!
