“…if I am only for myself, then what am I? And if not now, when?” -Rabbi Hillel I have decided to help the ING Run For Something Better program this fall ( Nov. 7,  2010) as I run the NYC Marathon in order to raise money to help their organization. I am turning to you, my TBA community, to ask for your support in this endeavor. Why should you give? 1) ING Run For Something Better funds free school-based running fitness programs that challenge children to get active, set goals and start a lifetime habit of physical activity. Each program is capped off with a fun culminating running event involving the school, or even the larger community. 2) In addition to fighting childhood obesity, research shows that physical activity improves a child’s self esteem, school performance and overall wellbeing. 3) ‘Tis the season See the program in action: Thank you for your donation and L’shana Tova to you, Dave Kaufman https://www.active.com/donate/ingnycmarathon2010/kaufman

We are pleased to offer babysitting again this year at TBA for High Holiday services. Babysitting will be held each day of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur from 10am – 1pm. The cost is $10 per child per day. Please send or bring your check to the Temple office along with the name(s) & age(s) of your children on or before September 7th as space is limited to first come first serve. Allison, our early childhood specialist, understands that one important aspect of enjoying the service is knowing that our young children are safe and happy in a babysitting program.
