High Holy Day Food Drive: Still Time to Donate

Yom Kippur involves fasting for one day, yet millions of Americans feel this hunger regularly. Every year at this time, we ask the congregation to honor our fast by making a monetary contribution to hunger relief. If you have already made your contribution, we thank you! If not, there’s still time—please do so by Wednesday, October 19.

Last year Temple Beth El was recognized as a bronze level sponsor of Second Harvest Foodbank, which distributes millions of pounds of food each year in southern Wisconsin, and our goal is to reach that level again this year with a $10,000 contribution. The funds will also support our hunger relief efforts through our ongoing partnerships with food pantries, community centers, and schools. 

We hope you will be able to give generously to support these hunger relief initiatives. Any amount you can give will be greatly appreciated. 

You can donate online at tbemadison.org/donate by choosing “High Holy Day Food Drive” as the payment type, or you can send a check to the Temple office. Please make checks payable to Temple Beth El and include “Food Drive” on the memo line. 

A big thank you goes to Julia Katz, baker extraordinaire, who offered to make challah for people’s holiday tables in exchange for donations to the High Holy Day Food Drive. This year she made 21 delicious loaves for TBE members and others!
