As we approach Thanksgiving, we are asking for your generosity in donating to the Discretionary Fund to help those in our community who need assistance at this time of year.

Together with our Chaverim volunteers

we have had many occasions to join together with friends and families in our congregation and community to provide special Kiddushes, Shabbat Dinners, and Havdalah celebrations throughout the year.

To make our preparations more efficient, we kindly ask you to please be sure to RSVP to occasions as requested. We strive to prepare enough food without wastage, so your RSVP is crucial We never want to turn anyone away, but please consider our concerns and RSVP.

If you're interested in planning an event, whether fully or in shared partnership with other, please reach out to Sally at 570-824-8927 or info@templewb.org

Would you like to sponsor a Kiddush, either partially or fully? Contact Sally via call or email (office@templewb.org). You can do so in memory of a loved one or to celebrate a life event, which we will include in our blasts and Chronicle.
