Activities Abound at TBA Mitzvah Mornin

On Sunday, March 13, join the members of the Temple B’nai Abraham congregational family for “Mitzvah Morning”, sponsored by the Temple B\'nai Abraham Social Action Committee with the Membership Committee, Men’s Club, Prime Time, Early School Parents’ Council and Religious School PTA, as they participate together in a gratifying and rewarding morning of activities, for all ages, and volunteering to help those in need in our neighboring communities. Come for the entire morning or for just part of these A.M. activities. This effort is led by Social Action Chair Lisa Reisboard with Tara Heyderman and Scott Wolfson, Membership Co-Chairs. Beginning at 8:30 AM, Temple B\'nai Abraham Men’s Club will hold a Sunday morning Minyan with Rabbi Kulwin at temple. It’s a great way to make new friends and catch up with old friends. Rabbi Kulwin makes the service a little more traditional and keeps it interesting by explaining parts of it with which you may not be familiar. Everyone is welcome. Brian Altman is Men’s Club President. A light breakfast will be served from 9:30-10:00 AM. On that morning, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, there will be a Blood Drive sponsored by Men’s Club in conjunction with Community Blood Services. Perform a mitzvah and donate blood!
