The Lappin Foundation will honor several notable community leaders at its annual awards ceremony in August.  ”We are thrilled to honor beloved community members Dr. Harold and Zelda Kaplan of Beverly with the 2013 Youth to Israel Adventure Award for the couple’s leadership, philanthropy and commitment to Israel,” said Robert Israel Lappin, Foundation’s president. The Youth to Israel (Y2I) Award was designed to recognize and thank exceptional Jewish leaders who demonstrate great love for Israel and for the Jewish community with their time and resources.   “Harold and Zellie are exceptional role models for our youth to emulate.

The Jewish Heritage Center of the North Shore (formerly known as the Jewish Historical Society of the North Shore) is in the process of inventorying and re-packing its archive of materials for digitization. TBA has generously offered the use of a classroom for the months of July and August to go through and re-box our materials for delivery to the US Jewish Historical Society for scanning. We need several volunteers perhaps with an interest in local Jewish history to assist me and our archivist Zellie Kaplan in finishing this project. This will require several hours under Zellie’s direction. Anyone interested can contact me at apierce@ppnlaw.com or Zellie at zelliekap@gmail.com for more information. Thank you, Alan Pierce Jewish Heritage Center of the North Shore, President

TBA’s Community Garden needs people to weed throughout the summer. We are trying to set up a weekly schedule. The week of August 18-24 has already been taken. Please contact Ruth Helman at 978-774-2848 if you  are interested in volunteering to help. Many thanks to Jim Younger, who set up a sprinkler on a timer so we will not need any volunteers to water this year.
