“… all whose hearts moved them … came bringing gifts…” Exodus 35:22.
During the Israelites’ journey in the desert, they were commanded to build a Tabernacle and the people willingly contributed their possessions and skills to construct it. Please be prepared with something hand-made, whether made by you or someone else. When sharing about your object, consider not only who made it and how it was made but the spirit with which it was made.

Beth Am members are invited to join Honorary Member, Rabbi Howard Bogot in a third seminar via ZOOM (those who sign up will receive a link.) Rabbi Bogot, Lecturer in Jewish Studies at Penn State Abington, has studied with Beth Amniks since the congregation’s home was a magnificent white, pillared structure that served as sanctuary, community hall and school. A tradition of shared study has been ongoing for many years and included family retreats and chavurot.
Parents we need your help! We want your college age child to stay connected and help them celebrate the holidays.
Help your young adult stay up to date with the Beth Am newsletter and holiday gifts throughout the year. Additionally, during breaks we want to hear all about their experiences and invite them to connect with the clergy.
