Join Temple Solel Social Action
On Wednesday, December 19, Temple Solel will be hosting a holiday party for JFCS. The party is specifically for foster kids and we are asking for donations of desserts to be dropped off that day, Tuesday, before 5:00pm as well as cash contributions to the Social Action Fund at Temple Solel to help offset the cost of preparing the dinner. There are also volunteer opportunities to help serve food and pack up the leftovers for the kids to take home at the end of the night. The kids prefer anything “chocolate.” We expect to have around 150 foster children attending this well-received event. We thank you in advance for your continued love and support for these children.

ART@Solel

ART SHOWCASE, featuring art by Temple members, displays a retrospective of 16 temple member artists entitled "Favorites". Each artist has selected two favorite pieces to display. A special “Meet the Artist” reception will be held on Sunday morning, January 27, 2019, at 10:30am in the Social Hall.

All the art pieces are for sale, many at reduced prices, and the artists will send a portion of the proceeds to the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh or their favorite Jewish organization.
