What's Going On

• World Zionist Congress Elections

  Online voting in the World Zionist Congress Elections is open now (January 21, 2020 to March 11, 2020).

  Participating in the WZC elections – by supporting “Vote Reform: ARZA Representing the Reform Movement and Reconstructing Judaism” – is the only way North American Jews can weigh in democratically about issues in Israel – and ensure a society that truly reflects the Jewish values we hold dear: pluralism, equality, economic justice, and peace.

• Volunteers Needed for TBO Mitzvah Corps

  

  Temple Beth Or’s Mitzvah Corp has been a hallmark of our community. We are the support system for Temple families in times of need. It takes a village to provide a safety net when something turns your life in unexpected directions due to injury, accidents, health issues, or family upsets, to name just a few. Currently, only a small group of people do all this on a regular basis.

  We need more participation from our members in providing help to families who need our support. We all find ourselves in need of support sometime. You don’t need to know the people you are helping, your first introduction to them can be when you are reaching out to provide support. Join us in this critical service to your temple families!

  Click here to sign up for our online application that notifies volunteers when our members need meals, home or hospital visits, or check-in phone call connections. You will then get a confirmation request, and that’s it! Please feel free to contact us for help signing up, of to add your name to our volunteer list.

• Introducing 'Ten Minutes of Torah' Subscriptions

  Did you know that Temple Beth Or and the Union for Reform Judaism are now offering an email subscription to ‘Ten Minutes of Torah‘?

  

  The ‘Ten Minutes of Torah‘ page lists the most recent short and pithy email posts on ‘Reform Voices of Torah’, ‘Celebrating Jewish Arts & Culture’, ‘Pursuing Social Justice’, ‘Israel Connections’, ‘Reform Life, Jewish Life’, and ‘The Rhythm of Jewish Time’.

  From there, select, “Sign up for Ten Minutes of Torah“, where you can subscribe to each of these newsletters, which will then be delivered weekly to your email mailbox. Don’t forget to indicate that you are a member of Temple Beth Or, to receive the co-branded TBO/URJ versions of these newsletters.
