Well this Sunday we didn’t need Beckham to step on the pitch to start our Jewish Sports League soccer tourney. With spirit and skill the boys from Beth Or showed Dayton what teamwork and passion can do on the field. The first game was played against Beth Jacob, a worthy opponent. We had met them in the finals last year and the rematch was anticipated with great excitement. In the finals we met Temple Israel who had defeated the CJCE 3-2 in their previous match. The final match was hard fought , but led by Ben Solganick, our youngest player, we prevailed 6-1. Temple Beth Or should be very proud of your team. They played with class and our numbers alone were incredibly impressive. We had 18 players come to play and many fans help cheer us on. I was proud to be part of this team and their attitude. Thank you all. Be well,
NFTY Ohio Valley Sub-Regionals - a plea for housing volunteers Dear 8th through 12th grade parents, As most of you know, our youth group will be hosting sub-regionals during the weekend of November 16-18. About 100 teenagers from across Indiana and Ohio will be coming to Dayton for this youth group event called Technolojew: Jews in the modern world. We will also sponsor social action projects and a Saturday night social program. It will be a great deal of fun. For this event to be successful, BOTY needs host families for out of town guests. Hosting will consist of providing Friday and Saturday night housing, breakfast Saturday morning, and transportation from the event. High Schoolers that attend the event will make new Jewish friends, and experience a new perspective on Judaism. By hosting, then your teenager will be able to get to know other Jewish teenagers even better. Please consider hosting, a housing form is available for download by clicking here. A meeting will take place with the BOTY advisor AJ Lauber regarding housing on a later date. If you can help, please complete the form located by clicking here and return to the Temple Beth Or office or please e-mail me at dlgisme@woh.rr.com. Thank you, Registrations still needed! Have you completed and submitted a religious school enrollment form for each of your children?

Please help us to have up to date safety, health and contact information for you and your children -- register today! Spotlight on Temple Beth Or Religious School Sixth Grade
Using chalk and a loooooong tape measure, students measured the distance of the ark, after converting cubits to feet. They then drew the ark to scale in the Temple Beth Or parking lot. Later, our first grade students, dressed as animals, entered the ark two by two, led by instructor Myrna Schutzbank (dressed as Mrs. Noah). Did Noah Have a Boa?

Do you know that David Beckham is part Jewish? And this was before his foray into Kabbalah. His maternal grandfather Joe West was Jewish and Becks in his biography remembers going to Temple and wearing a kippah growing up.
Be The Light!
