May 29Chai Mitzvah: Business Ethics
Wednesday, May 29th 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Rekindle your Judaism through ritual, study, and social action in the monthly Chai Mitzvah course, facilitated by Nicole A. Jahr, RJE. This course builds and deepens Jewish connections within the congregation and community. In this special version of the course focused on business ethics, you'll explore some of our tradition's teachings related to business and commerce. Often, we fragment our lives into religious and secular, confining Judaism to the home and synagogue. This dichotomy between religious and work lives is alien to Judaism because derech eretz, the way we walk in this world, is a form of Jewish expression. Indeed, Jewish law and ethics have much to say about the world of business and commerce. Over 100 mitzvot relate to commerce and business, even more than the number devoted to the laws of kashrut. Chai Mitzvah has five basic components in a nine-month program: • Group study - meeting monthly, with a text-based curriculum (you can see samples of the topics at www.chaimitzvah.org, under "Curriculum" • Personal study - design your own independent study on a topic of personal interest to you, looking at Jewish life, history, major figures, literature, culture, or other areas of interest • Adopt a ritual/spiritual practice and incorporate it into your life for the duration of the program • Social action - commit to helping in the community (either individually, or as a group) • Celebrate the achievement! At the end of the nine-month program, Temple Beth El will honor your journey. Participants who finish the program will receive a certificate from Chai Mitzvah and a tree planted in their name, courtesy of the Jewish National Fund's collaboration with Chai Mitzvah. Experience a fully integrated, meaningful Jewish life, exploring what’s important to you. If you have any questions, please contact Nicole A. Jahr, RJE, at learn@tbemadison.org. -

Sep 29High Holy Days Food Drive
Sunday, Sep 29th (All day)
High Holy Day Food Drive: Yom Kippur involves fasting for one day, yet we know that millions of Americans feel this hunger regularly. Every year at this time, the social action committee seeks your generous contributions to fight hunger in our community. We distribute envelopes after services on Rosh Hashanah and collect them on Yom Kippur. Please make the checks payable directly to Second Harvest Foodbank and return the checks on Yom Kippur or send them to the Temple office. -

Oct 18Thanksgiving Food Collection
Friday, Oct 18th (All day)
A holiday meal is beyond the means of those who struggle to buy weekly groceries. Every year before Thanksgiving, the Goodman Community Center collects food to help 3,500 families enjoy a full Thanksgiving meal with their loved ones. TBE’s Jewish educational program participates in a friendly grade-level competitionto see which grade level can collect the most food. We collect canned fruits and vegetables, cranberry sauce, broth, boxes of mac and cheese, boxes of stuffing, and aluminum roaster pans. Collection bins are in the coatroom. The grade that brings the most of their item will be presented with a certificate for a tree planted in Israel. -
