Your Help Is Needed for Christmas

Editor's note -- David's Church provides volunteers for Temple Beth Or's high holy days every year so that families who need babysitting may worship.

Please consider returning this mitzvah for this very special holy day for our Christian friends and neighbors.

Our friends at David's Church are in need of babysitters for their Christmas Services on Christmas Eve Wednesday, December 24, 2008 as follows:

7:00 p.m. Service - 6 people needed. This is a large service. Some volunteers will be with babies in the nursery, some with older kids downstairs.

9:30 p.m. Service - 2-3 people needed. This service is not as large. Nursery care workers with all ages.

Please note that the times noted are the times that the the service starts and it would be best if as many of the volunteers as possible could arrive about 20 minutes before the service begins.

If you can assist, please contact Marvin Miller at 641-5374 or by email at srmmem@aol.com.

Spotlight on Grade 9

At the beginning of the year, we started with a basic understanding of the term religion. We then moved on to explain our own religion. We are currently discussing some of the lesser known facts & superstitions of Judaism as well as exploring other interesting and lesser known religions. In future lessons, we plan on exploring the mystical side of Judaism as well as any other topics that any of students may want to discuss.
