The story of the Maccabees is the story of standing up for Jewish identity, for the commitment to use the light of our teachings to illuminate the darkness in the world. In that spirit, each winter our congregation delivers holidays gifts and meals. In the spring we help to build homes with Habitat for Humanity and to deliver fresh produce through the gleaning project. When catastrophe strikes, like Hurricane Dorian devastating the Bahamas this past fall, we respond with supplies and funds to help with the recovery effort. With each of those and our other social action and social justice efforts, we proudly declare that Every three minutes someone in the U.S. is our community is committed to making the world a diagnosed with a blood cancer.

SFC closed at 12:30 PM, BFC closed at 12:00 PM Hurricane Dorian DISASTER We have all seen the pictures and videos from the Bahamas, illustrating the RELIEF devastation that Hurricane Dorian brought on that community. Relief and UPDATE rebuilding efforts are ongoing, and Temple Beth El is contributing to that effort. Thanks to the generosity of the Temple community, we raised over $25,000 to help in the relief efforts. Those funds have been donated to the following organizations that have strong histories of providing much-needed assistance in a responsible and efficient manner: • IsraAID, which mobilizes Israeli and international expertise by partnering with local communities around the world to support people affected by humanitarian crisis. • Good360, which transforms lives by providing hope, dignity, and a sense of renewed possibility to individuals, families, and communities impacted by disasters or other challenging life circumstances. • All Hands and Hearts, which is a volunteer-based organization that addresses the immediate and long- term needs of communities impacted by natural disasters. • Team Rubicon, which unites the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders to rapidly provide relief to communities in need. • SBP, which utilizes experiences from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina to increase resilience before disasters IsraAID Hurricane Dorian Relief occur and streamline the post-disaster recovery process, to fortify people against unnecessary stress and trauma. • Heart to Heart, which works to improve health access, provide humanitarian development and administers crisis relief. In addition, the supplies we collected were ferried over to the Bahamas and distributed on Green Turtle Cay. Thank you to everyone who contributed!
