• Hurricane Maria Relief Funds for Temple Beth Shalom, Puerto Rico

  Months after Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico, some are still without power, and many places remain without clean water.  Temple Beth Shalom, the Reform synagogue in San Juan, suffered damage and the overall situation for citizens of Puerto Rico remains critical.  Beth Shalom started a fundraiser to help get their Temple functioning again and to support other local recovery efforts.  The Temple Beth Or Social Action Committee is asking for donations for Puerto Rico recovery through the Temple Beth Shalom Hurrican Relief Fund.
