SABBATH SERVICE REMINDER
Shabbat services now begin at 10:30 pm on Saturdays instead of Friday evenings.
Following Saturday 10:30am services during the winter months, we have a Kiddush, the Shabbat morning version of Friday evening's Oneg Shabbat. Please consider providing a Kiddush during the month of February, perhaps in memory of a loved one, in celebration of a family simcha, or perhaps "just because." If you are interested in claiming one of the month's four open Saturday mornings, please contact Adele Swissman, at 201-339-0149, or call the Temple Office at 201-858-2020.

BOOK CLUB
Temple book group will meet on March 21, 2012 at 7:30pm. THE INVISABLE BRIDGE by Julie Orringer is a very good page turner of a novel which focuses on the life of Andras Levi, a young Hungarian architectural student, and his immediate family in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s as their world is virtually destroyed by the impact of the war and the Nazi March through Europe. It draws us in to Andras’s life in Paris and his return to Hungary, the degradation of the anti-Jewish laws, the labor camps, all of what one reviewer aptly calls “the monumental tragedy” of the Holocaust.
President Don Miller would like to thank Joan Lazare for her generosity to Temple Beth Am.
