Bring and Arrange Flowers and Greens

for Shavuot TODAY!

 

The flowers blooming in your yard (rhododendrons, calla lilies, roses, foxglove, etc) can be part of our traditional Island Synagogue Shavuot bima decor! We'll be arranging whatever greens and flowers we can procure (bought or harvested) Today (May 25th) at 2 pm in the sanctuary, and invite you to help! Or, if you can't make it, just drop off contributions in a bucket that will be near the front door before 2pm.

 

We appreciate any flower donations that you can make so we can commemorate the receiving of the Torah with a lovely tradition that flourishes throughout the Jewish world.

Collecting Shamos, Returning IS Library Books, and Donating Jewish Books



Do you have papers and books to be discarded that may have Hashem's name on them?

Do you have used or damaged religious articles, like tzitzit, tallitot, or tefillin?

Did you borrow a book from the shul and need to return it?

Do you have books published by Artscroll, Feldheim, or others that are suitable for our shul library that other members would benefit from?


If you answered YES! to any of these, please bring your books, pamphlets, old benchers, Hebrew papers, and used religious objects to the shul. We will direct them to their right place. Arrangements have been made with BCMH to take our shamos for a donation to their shamos project. Our shamos will go into their storage until it is buried with the other shamos they are collecting. Donations to help with the BCMH shamos fees would be greatly appreciated.
