Our food pantry here at Temple Beth El is nearly empty. It is a very active food pantry that many hungry people in our  community rely on each week. Please bring a non-perishable food item or two (or three!) to donate each time you come to the temple. Our less fortunate friends and neighbors need and will appreciate your help.
Social Action Committee's "Give & Receive" Hotline helps meet the needs of our community. If you would like to be part of this hotline program, or have any questions, please email Carol at cwerblin@hotmail.com . Only when there is an emergency request for furniture, clothing, or housewares, will you receive an e-mail with "Give & Receive" in the subject line.

S'lichot Service - This Saturday, September 4th at 8:30 p.m. at Temple Beth El.
Join us for the service that officially begins the High Holy Day season. Together with Temple Chaverim, we will usher in the New Year with study, prayer and song. Come watch as our Torahs are changed into their majestic white covers, a symbol of a new beginning in 5771.
Something new for Tashlich! - This year, on Rosh Hashanah at 4 p.m., we will gather at Gold Star Beach for this wonderful ritual where we "cast away our sins". Traditionally, we have thrown pieces of bread into the water, which is a detriment to both the birds and the fish, not to mention in opposition to Huntington Town Ordinances which forbid throwing anything into public waters. This year, we will ask you to "toss" a whole loaf of bread into a bin, which will then be donated to a local food pantry. This way, our impact on the environment is minimal, yet our impact on those who cannot afford bread is tremendous. Direction cards to Gold Star Beach will be available in the temple lobby.
