Mitzvahs

The literal meaning of the Hebrew word mitzvah is commandment, but the generally accepted sense is that of a good deed. The emphasis is on deeds—not on positive thoughts or wishes, but on conscious acts of empathy and kindness. Here at Temple Beth Tikvah we strive daily to perform Mitzvahs for our loved ones, our families, our neighbors and community.

BAR/BAT MITZVAH PROJECTS:


WIN FOOD PANTRY UPDATE

Please do not bring matzoh to the temple for distribution to the Food Pantry. The Pantry clients don’t like it, they don’t eat it, they don’t want it. So if you’re looking to divest yourself of leftover matzo, leave it out for the birds, or the deer or whatever other use you can think of. Just please do not bring it to the temple for
the Pantry.
To see what would be appropriate for the Pantry, please log on to the website http://www.winfoodpantry.org and discover what would be most appreciated at this time. You can also make a monetary donation on line if food shopping is not your cup of tea. So log on, check out what is going on at the Pantry, and see what the
current needs are.
As always, our neighbors in need are deeply grateful for your ongoing support and generosity.
