“You definitely get more from this experience than you give.” -Carole Levine with Ezra & Triston
Michael, one of our Family Promise guests, asked that we share his appreciation: “Words cannot express how grateful I am for all of the wonderful things you’ve done for my kids and myself. The opportunities given to Ezra, Triston and myself will never be forgotten. I pray to God every night thanking him for the apartment and all the help with the twins.”
Hosting is truly an intergenerational community & team effort! We encourage and welcome you to get involved.
Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you. ~ Princess Diana

FAMILY PROMISE IS UP & RUNNING - AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!
With the High Holidays right around the corner, please consider performing a mitzvah for those in need in our own community. Isaiah 58:7- You shall "share [your] bread with the hungry and bring the homeless into [your] house". We are excited to announce that Family Promise is up & running!!
If you have not heard about this great organization, the following is a brief summary: Family Promise of North/Central Palm Beach County (FP) is an interfaith network which assists temporarily homeless children & their families (up to 14 guests/4 families each week) with meals and housing at host congregations. There are over 150 affiliates in 39 states, including in South Palm Beach County. Temple Beth Am is a supporting congregation in the new North/Central network.
Please contact me at 247-5195 or debbysbaker@gmail.com, or Lois Remick at 627-7736 or lorem47@bellsouth.net if you are interested in helping or have any questions.
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. -- Anne Frank

Homebound Mitzvah Program For Shabbat:
For fourteen years, MorseLife and caring volunteers have been bringing traditions of the Jewish Holidays to homebound seniors who would otherwise be unable to attend services, or enjoy this time with family. Our Homebound Mitzvah Program makes a difference to seniors of our community, and for our volunteers, it remains a wonderful mitzvah.
We are now extending this program to Shabbat, recruiting a few special volunteers to deliver Challah and wine on the first Friday of each month to three homebound seniors in Century Village. As a Shabbat Program volunteer, you would also be “delivering” quality time – talking to them and ensuring they are not having any medical or other issues. The commitment is 20-30 minutes per visit, or a total of 1.5 hours per month. This could also be a multigenerational program for your whole family.
Please consider being a part of this wonderful once-per-month Shabbat Mitzvah Program. For more information, call Nadine Greenberg, Director of Volunteer Services at (561) 687-5871 or email at nadineg@morselife.org.

THANK YOU... On behalf of the Temple Beth Am Men’s Club and Social Action Committee, I want to thank all of the families and friends that participated in the 1st TBA Beach Clean Up at Carlin Beach Park on Sunday, April 10th. We had 75 people attend the beach clean up. It was a wonderful showing of community spirit, camaraderie and Tikkun Olam and a wonderful way to teach our children about saving our beaches and taking care of the environment.
We hope that this is the first of many beach clean ups for Temple Beth Am. Several people made this event possible. I would like to say thank you to the people who spearheaded the event (Debbie Smith, David Sherman, Rabbi Alon Levkovitz, Debby Baker).
Mike Greenfeld
