RABBI'S MESSAGEBy Rabbi Michael Gold
2
Dear Friends, I sent the following Hanukkah – parshat miketz
message to the congrega-tion and the long list of people who get my
weekly message. It received a number of comments and I know that
someone reposted it on Facebook. Hanukkah is past, but the message
I share about pushing away darkness is more relevant than ever. I
hope you enjoy.
There is a popular Israeli Hanukkah song for children. The words
begin in Hebrew Banu Hosech Legaresh “We have come to chase away
the darkness – in our hands are small lights. Flee darkness, go
forth blackness. Flee before the light.” I believe the words of
this simple Hanukkah song say it all. The song tells what Hanukkah
is really all about. The Talmud asks the question “What is
Hanukkah?” It goes on to tell the story of the miracle of the oil
which lasted eight days when there was only enough for one day. One
senses in this Rabbinic legend an attempt to rephrase an old
celebration of a military victory by Judah Maccabee. We should
celebrate not the military success against the evil Syrian-Greeks
but the God’s miracle of the oil. The Rabbis ordained that every
Hanukkah we read the verses from the prophet Zachariah, “Not by
might and not by power but by my spirit says the Lord.” (Zechariah
4:6) The Rabbis never cared much for the Maccabees or their
military victory. Perhaps that is the reason why the book of
Maccabees never made it into the holy canon. And perhaps that is
the reason why the true history of Hanukkah is so confusing. So
what is the real story of Hanukkah, the story behind the story? I
believe that it is no coincidence that Hanukkah falls around the
time of the winter solstice, the shortest and dark-est day of the
calendar year. (The solstice actually falls on December 21;
Hanukkah is a bit early this year. I believe it is no coincidence
that Christmas, the Christian festival of lights, falls around the
same time.) I believe that the true story of Hanukkah is how light
can push away darkness. I believe it is a story of how hope can
push away despair. I believe it is a story of how, when life
appears dark, when blackness seems to overwhelm us, we should not
give up. Even a little candle, if that lights another candle, if
that lights a series of candles, can push away the blackness. This
idea is central to the portion we read in the Torah. At the
beginning of the portion Joseph is languishing in prison for a
crime he did not commit. He has been forgotten. Then Joseph is
pulled from prison, interprets Pharaoh’s dreams, and is given
responsibility for gathering food in Egypt during the days of
plenty to feed the people during the days of famine. At the end of
the portion Joseph is the second most powerful person in Egypt.
Andrew Lloyd Webber, in his Broadway retelling of the Joseph story,
has Joseph singing from prison “Close every door to me, hide all
the world from me. Bar all the windows and shut out the light.” But
even from prison Joseph sings of hope. Hanukkah is about using
little candles, little flames of light, to push away the darkness.
It is about moving from despair to hope. That is why Hanukkah is so
important at this time. We live in dark times. As the poet Yeats
wrote, “Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.” Radical Jihadists
have decided that it is okay to kill countless innocent people in
their fight to establish their Islamic regime. Whether in San
Bernardino, CA, Paris, France, or in the heart of Jeru-salem,
innocents are being killed. The Angel of Death has been loosened on
the world. The darkness seems to be spreading. The theme of
Hanukkah is that we cannot allow the darkness to overwhelm us. We
must light candles, candles of hope, and place those candles in our
windows for everyone to see. In following the wisdom of the great
sage Hillel, we must increase the number of candles each night,
adding to the amount of light. We must use one candle to light
another candle, spread-ing the light from person to person. We must
react to the evil in the world not with more evil but with
goodness, we must counter the hatred with love. Deep in our hearts
we must believe that the darkness will not last forever. To repeat
a quote attributed to John F. Kennedy, “It is better to light a
candle than to curse the darkness.”Shalom,Rabbi Michael Gold

CANTOR'S MESSAGEBy Cantor Jonathan Angress Yahrzeit
Yahrzeit is a Yiddish word, which literally means “time of year”
or memorial. Jews of Ashkenazi descent use this term. Sephardim
call this commemoration nahala, in Ladino. This custom is widely
observed and based on the Jewish tradition of commemorating the
death of a relative. All the Yahrzeit rituals are deeply ingrained
in the Jewish life. The common rituals that are performed in the
honorable memory of the departed soul include reciting the Kaddish
prayer and lighting a Yahrzeit candle. Yahrzeit also includes the
action of donating charity in memory of a deceased loved one.
Through the performance of the mitzvah of tzedakah in the name of
the departed, the merit of the deed is shared with the soul of the
late relative, as their memory is enhanced.
Sunday in the Park with George, Victor/Victoria, Nine, Cyrano,
Beauty and the Beast, Peter Pan, Sweet Charity, and Rock of Ages.
What do these 8 Broadway shows have to do with each other? The
storylines of each are so diverse and completely different from
each other. The music styles from each are of a different genre. So
what do an 80’s rock bar, a 19th century French painter, a cursed
prince, and the boy who wouldn’t grow up have in common? That I can
tell you in one (but actually two) word(s): Paul Schoeffler.
Here is Paul’s official bio: “Born in Montreal, Canada, Paul
spent his early years in Toronto before moving to England with his
family where he had his schooling and subsequently lived in Belgium
where he attended the University of Brussels for French. He then
moved to California where he received a BA in English at UC
Berkeley and began study-ing voice at the San Francisco
Conservatory of Music. Moving to Pittsburgh to study voice and
drama at Carnegie Mellon, he graduated with honors and headed to
NYC where he has been working professionally since. On Broadway he
has been seen as Hertz in Rock of Ages (cast album), Vittorio Vidal
opposite Christina Applegate in Sweet Charity (cast album), Hook in
Peter Pan opposite Cathy Rigby (cast album, filmed for A&E),
Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast. Le Bret in Cyrano, Nine,
Victor/Victoria and Sunday in the Park with George. Numerous Off
Broadway appearances include Wintertime at Second Stage Theatre
opposite Marsha Mason, the world premiere of No Way to Treat a Lady
(cast album), The Fantasticks, Much Ado About Nothing and The
Cherry Orchard. National tours include Javert in Les Miserables and
Sheldrake in Promises/Promises. Regionally he has performed leading
roles extensively, including The Count in the world premiere of
Phantom by Yeston/Kopit (cast album), Flaminio Scala in the
premiere of The Glorious Ones by Ahrens/Flaherty at PPT, Henry
Higgins in My Fair Lady and Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha among
other roles as part of seven seasons at the Walnut Street Theatre
in Philadelphia (2 Barrymore nomina-tions for best actor) and seven
seasons at Sacramento Music Circus. Other theatres where he has
performed lead roles include Papermill, Goodspeed, The Huntington
Theatre in Boston and The Repertory Theatre of St Louis. Paul has
also had an extensive voice-over career, having worked for NBC,
CBS, CNN, ESPN, The Oxygen Network, four seasons as multiple
characters on Courage the Cowardly Dog for The Cartoon Network and
extensive commercial campaigns for among others, Shell Oil, Amstel
Light, Campbells, Lysol and Canon. TV appearances include Person of
Interest, Law and Order, Midnight Caller, All My Children and
Guiding Light. A member of the New York Singing Teachers'
Association (NYSTA) Paul also teaches voice and coaches privately
and has done extensive concert work including Broadway by the Year
and Broadway Unplugged at Town Hall in NY, Broadway Ballyhoo at
Feinstein‘s, Broadway in Bryant Park and Symphony Silicon Valley
among others.” I am proud to announce that Paul will be this year’s
guest performer for our spring Jewish Broadway concert. As you can
see he has a very large resume with a vast amount of experience
performing on Broadway and regionally. Please mark your calendars
for Sunday March 6, 2016! Both Paul and I are very much looking
for-ward to presenting a fun night of music, acting, and shtick!
And who knows, we may end up hearing some songs from the roles that
Paul has played on Broadway!Todah V’Zimrah,Cantor Jonathan

President's MessageBy Amir Watynski, President
Share Your Experienceswith the TBTST Family
• Do you plan to visit an interesting city, museum or event this
summer, or have you done so already?• Have you read a great book
with Jewish content that you’d like to share with others?• Or, seen
a film that really moved you?• Did a recent experience help you to
see things in a different way?•Do you belong to an organization
that does good work and that we should know about?•Do you want to
share a great web site that you have found valuable in your Jewish
life?•Do you have a family recipe (kosher, of course) that you
think your friends at TBTST would like to know about?
Why not share it?
If you have a topic that you think would be of interest to other
congregants, let us know. We’ll ask you to write a short article
(emphasis on short!) about your experience for possible insertion
into the Scroll and to provide pic-tures if relevant. Writing
should be conversational in tone and if you mention other
congregants in your article, please confirm their approval in
advance.
Contact Steve Sax at [email protected] if you would like to
sub-mit an article.Note: All articles will be edited for grammar
and clarity, and their use will depend on space available; however,
if there is no timeliness involved, we will hold articles for
future issues.
Any photographs should be high resolution (300 dpi at 3” x 4”);
color photos will be reproduced in black and white.
It is an honor to be installed as President of Temple Beth Torah
Sha’aray Tzedek. I am proud to be a member of this vibrant
synagogue, one that I truly believe to be the pre-eminent
Conservative temple in Broward County. From our various religious
services and social programming, to our schools, youth groups,
Sisterhood and Men’s Club, we offer something for everyone. If you
have thought of becoming more involved but haven’t quite made the
leap, I invite you to follow Nike’s advice and
“just do it.” Joining a committee might be a good place to
start. We have several committees looking for new members,
including Membership, Early Childhood, Ways and Means, and Hazak.
Maybe attending a weekday minyan or a Shabbat service is more your
thing. Our services are traditional, yet egalitarian, and our
regular service-goers have estab-lished a camaraderie that has
forged lasting friendships. We are looking forward to getting to
know you too! Social events are always on the calendar. Join us for
Karaoke Night, Mitzvah Day, Sisterhood or Men’s Club events for an
enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Our complete calendar can be
found on our website, www.tbtst.org. On behalf of the Officers and
Board, I’d like to thank Nancy Marks Small for her tireless
dedication and service as TBTST’s President the past two years.
Nancy selflessly devoted her time and energy for the betterment of
our temple, and we are all grateful. I look forward to working with
all of you toward fulfilling our common goals, as we continue to
make our temple thrive. I welcome your input. Please feel free to
contact me at [email protected] or 954-478-1284.
Thanks,Amir Watynski

Is Temple Beth TorahSha'aray Tzedek
In Your Will?
The synagogue’s role begins at birth and continues with-out
interruption throughout the entire course of our lives. By
remembering the synagogue in our wills, we can do our part to
assure future generations that their religious home will be there
to serve. We depend upon more than just dues alone to sustain all
that we do. If we are concerned about the future of Judaism, we
must project its influence and our influ-ence into the future. Few
memorials are more worthy than those provided by an en-dowment to
TBTST through a bequest. Your legacy can reflect everything that is
most im-portant and meaningful to you. You can declare where your
funds might be used – to supply the Hebrew School, for example, or
to support one of TBTST’s designated funds. We all want TBTST to be
a spiritual home for genera-tions to come, just as it has been for
you and your family. Let us ensure the future of our congregation
and help it grow and serve our people.

Early Childhood NewsSydney Berlin, Early Childhood Director
Hanukkah has come and gone and a New Year has begun. With the
start of a new year brings the opportunity to become better or do
more. Better people, better parents, better plan-ners, better
whatever the case may be; it allows us a window of opportunity to
look at our lives, and make change, to better ourselves in whatever
capacity we feel is needed to be the best we can possibly be.
If some of your goals are to become more involved in the
programs offered at TBTST, more specifically, our Early Childhood
Programs, then you’re in luck! We have some great January programs
coming up that we would love you all to be a part of. We are having
a Winter themed Tot Shabbat January 15th. We’ll sing songs, dance
and welcome Shabbat. There may even be a few “snow ball fights,”
you never know. After, we will enjoy hot cocoa and cookies. We hope
you can make it, and as always, please feel free to bring friends!
Our next session of enrichments begins the first week in February.
Our enrich-ment classes are open to any child from 2-5 years old.
Classes run from 3-4pm. We have a wide variety of classes ranging
from wood working, karate, soccer, dance/cheer, Spanish,
gymnastics, cooking, art and more! If you are interested in
enrolling your child, registration forms are located at the ECC
office. Our Socialites program meets weekly from 6-7:30pm on
Tuesday nights. It’s open to any child in K, 1st or 2nd grade. This
social club is packed full of activities such as crafts, games,
field trips and much more! The program started in October and runs
until May. Registration is ongoing if interested. If you would like
more information about any of the above mentioned programs, please
call the ECC office at 954-722-9537. We just had our book fair and
Hanukkah Show. We had many families shopping and mingling at the
fair while enjoying an interactive Hanukkah show, starring some of
the TBTST teachers.
Be on the look out! Registration for the 2016-2017 school year
will begin in Feb-ruary! We will have early bird enrollment
discounts available for those families who would like to register
early and take advantage of the savings!

Have you noticed our upgraded playground? When you come into the
building on your way into the sanctuary, please peer out the etched
windows and see our newly renovated play area.
You'll notice the grassy green surface covering the cushioned
protective under layer, insuring that our children can play
safely.
Since our playground is used year round, it gets lots of use.
Unfortunately our renovation costs ran higher than initially
expected because the ground needed to be properly prepared.
This would be a wonderful opportunity to make a contribution to
help underwrite the cost of the playground renovation and support
our children.

Tu B’Shevat
This year, Tu B’Shevat is celebrated at the end of January and
while this is a holiday that is remembered more in Israel, we do
acknowledge its existence even here in North America and around the
world. It is like a Jewish Arbor Day and it falls on the 15th day
of the Hebrew month of Shevat. Here it is considered a winter
holiday but in Israel, it is a time when the first buds appear on
the trees. Many people celebrate this holiday with a special seder,
a cer-
emony celebrating the fruits of Israel not unlike the Pesach
seder which is a ritual meal. The seder has 4 cups of wine or grape
juice- dark red, light red, pink and white-to represent the changes
in the seasons. They eat fruits and nuts mentioned in the bible,
like dates and figs. They also try to eat different kinds of fruit
including those with coverings on the outside, like oranges, those
with pits such as peaches and olives and those that can be eaten
inside and outside like raisins. While it is still winter, it is
kind of nice to think about the earth blooming again.Today we also
think about Tu B’Shevat in which Jews celebrate the gift of our
world-the earth, the seas, and the air- and our responsibility to
preserve and care for it. For too many years, people have used the
earth’s resources carelessly. We have destroyed, wasted and
polluted and although this is a worldwide problem, not just a
Jewish problem, many Jews are turning to Tu B’Shevat as a special
day on which to remember that we must work to preserve the world
and that we must teach and remind others to do the same. On the day
of this holiday, when you wake up or even when you go to bed, go
outside and enjoy the grass and flowers, the sky and the earth, the
trees and their branches, and the sights and sounds of the
outdoors. Then, listen to the quiet and go over to a tree and wish
it a happy birthday. Perhaps after that, you can even decide to hug
the tree and enjoy the moment even for a few seconds. Happy Tu
B’Shevat.

Hanagev Class of 2016...The Importance of USYby: Sammie
Gaynor
Being a senior has a different weight in USY than it does in
other clubs. We’re all guilty of résumé-stuffing—filling our
schedules up with extra-curricular activities that we think will
look good on our college applications. College, and the
aforementioned applications, is a very large presence in our lives
around this time of year. We are getting accepted, wait-listed, and
denied
while our friends are going through the same process. But with
all the excitement of finding out where you are going to be for the
next four years, it is also crucial to appreciate the best parts of
this year and the last few years. USY is not just a résumé filler.
We all participate in USY because we love doing it. We enjoy the
conventions we attend, the prayers we lead, and all the friends we
get to make along the way. More than any other club, USY is a way
for teens with a common background and purpose to get together and
have fun. Unfortunately, universities don’t have their own USY
chapters. But that doesn’t mean that USY should disappear from our
lives completely. Though we can’t have USY in college, we can still
have our friends there with us, even if they attend a different
school. It takes a lot of work when you don’t live in the same city
or even the same state, but keeping in touch is worth the effort.
Whether a Gator or a ‘Nole, maintaining USY friends is important
through the craziness of college life. A simple “hello” text every
once in a while or a late night FaceTime is a great way to show
that you still care about another person. We all come from the same
place with a common background and we deserve to keep the friends
that we made during this time of high school. That being said,
there is still a lot of USY left to enjoy for the year. If you’re a
senior in USY, you should definitely join the Hanegev Class of 2016
page on Face-book. It’s a great way to keep in touch with people
not in our chapter and people are often known to post cute and
positive things on the page. So, while you all come up with your
senior quotes for regional convention in the spring make sure to
ap-preciate being in USY with all of your friends as the year rolls
along, I know I will.

TBTST SISTERHOODBy Ellen Feldman, President
On Friday, January 8th we will install our new board. I welcome
back those who are returning and welcome those new members joining
us. I look forward to all of us working together for a year of
profound, meaningful and fun programs.
Launching us into the new year is Sisterhood’s January cruise.
In next month’s Scroll, I will share our experiences; I’ve been
told
by the planning committee surprises await us! But for sure we
will be bonded by sharing this unique experience, by this sense of
community at sea! February will be a highlight month for
Sisterhood. I encourage all of you to mark your calendars now so
not to miss out on our special happenings. On February 11th, you
are all invited to hear our very own Sisterhood member, and
cybersecurity professional, Dr. Dianne Solomon, speak to our group
on Cyber Secure Sisterhood. Fifteen years ago, most of us were just
getting started with email. Today, 90% of all security breaches
involve some aspect of email fraud. How did it happen? What can we
do about it? Dianne will introduce us to emerging threats of social
engineering and offer safety tips for credit and debit cards. Come
and learn some of the best practices for protecting your computers,
tablets, and phone, and thus how to best protect your bank
accounts, your credit and your good name. On February 26th, 27th,
and 28th we will be having a very special weekend as TBTST honors
both Allan Gottesman, president of Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs
and Carol Simon, is international president of Women’s League. How
fortunate we are to have both of them here in Florida. Save the

for those memorable family recipes for our upcoming cookbook. We
would love to have your family traditions included in our
publication! As I begin my second year as Sisterhood President, I
would like at this time to thank Jody Glass for all her support
this past year, for her suggestions and creativity in always trying
to bring sisterhood to a new level. And to Helaine Cain,a much
deserved Todah Rabah, for the years you served as Corresponding
Secretary. A Todah Rabah goes out as well to all who contributed to
our Chanukah collection for HaTikvah House. We presented them with
a gift card allowing them to enjoy an evening out in a local
restaurant. Thank you all for your support!

Why Not Join aChavurah?
As part of our New Roads to Engagement Project, Temple Beth
Torah Sha'aray Tzedek is encouraging couples or families to bring
their com-mon interests to the syna-gogue. This is not a religious
group, but a group of family or friends that want to social-ize
together. Perhaps it is an existing group of friends that you join
each month to have dinner with, see a movie or attend a play. Any
group of people with common inter-ests can form a Chavurah.
Shortly, you will receive a brochure and questionnaire describing
this concept, and asking only for you to complete and return the
questionnaire to the syna-gogue office. Based on your responses, we
will form a group that fits your needs. Please join with us as we
reach out and engage our congregation. Watch for our brochure!

TBTST’s Sunshine Commit-tee notifies email recipients of the
life events of fellow con-gregants in a timely manner. The
committee sends notices of births, engagements, wed-dings,
funerals, shiva details and hospitalizations.

As a follow up to the December 15th Federation of Jewish Men’s
Club "Man and Youth of the Year” Program at Temple Beth El in West
Palm Beach, The Florida Region Keeper of the Flame Man of the Year
and Youth of the Year Award was given to Alan Paley and Rachel
Sandhouse. Additionally, two of our own won awards: Albie Altmark
won the Grand Raffle and donated the proceeds equally amongst the
Men’s Club and Temple and Rira Kaplan won the second Grand prize
and
made a generous donation as well. As you know on Friday at
Shabbat services on January 8th, we will be installing our new
Officers and Board of Directors. The major change is that Danny
Glass is stepping down as Treasurer but remaining as a member of
the Board. I want to personally thank Danny and all the other
Officers and Board members for all their support these past two
years. I believe our Club has transitioned from surviving to
thriving. I hope you can join us on January 8th where our newly
elected Co-President Dr. Alan Miller will be giving an update on
programing for the New Year. Please get your reservations in for
the Florida Panther Game organized by Men’s Club coming up in
February 18th . Additionally our following program will be a Sunday
breakfast program with Ira Winderman, Sports Reporter for The Sun
Sentinel who covers the Miami Heat. He will be talking about the
Heat, Sports and the Press. Finally I want to thank Nancy Small and
the entire Board as well as Sisterhood for all the support they
have given us. On behalf of Michele and I we wish all a Happy and
Healthy New Year!In Brotherhood, Barry Kanarek.
Thank you to all who expressed their condolences to us on the
passing of our dear son Jonathan Kaleky. Your words of
comfort were most appreciated.

Why Not Join a Committee?
As it happens, much of the “work” of TBTST and most of the
planning takes place in committees. So, committee mem-bership is a
great place to begin becoming involved in synagogue life. Every
congregation relies on its volunteers both to work and to lead.
Most committees are open to all who are interested and willing to
participate. Two committees that are very in-terested in finding
new, enthusias-tic members are the Membership Committee, and the
Marketing and Communications Committee. Volunteers are always
welcome to be part of our Tikkun Olam com-mittee, the sponsors of
our enor-mously successful annual Mitzvah Day. The Rabbi is always
looking for people interested in the Adult Education Committee. Our
Ways and Means Committee serves as a program committee and manages
many of our synagogue events. Extra hands are always sought to help
in those activities. If you have children, you know about our PTOs.
Keep them in mind as well. Both the Sisterhood and the Men’s Club
sponsor programs and support activities that benefit the synagogue.
They both do their work in a social atmosphere and many deep
friendships have arisen among their members. If the notion of a
committee conjures up the world of corporations, cubicles and
bureaucracy (ours are much friendlier by the way) think about
becoming active in one of our auxiliaries. Only you know what might
interest you and, if you do, let the office know and they will put
you in touch with the relevant chairperson. If you know that you
would like to help, but are unsure about just what you might enjoy
doing, talk to one of the officers of the congregation or to the
presidents of the Sisterhood or the Men’s Club.

Tree of LifeThe tree has always been a symbol of life and
strength in the Jewish tradi-tion. The parts of the tree depend
upon one another just as those in need in our community depend upon
Temple Beth Torah Sha'aray Tzedek for help and support.
In the same manner, Temple Beth Torah Sha'aray Tzedek depends
upon the generosity of our community to enable us to continue to
provide that support. The Tree of Life is the perfect symbol to
allow us to recognize the generous donors who, in turn, help us to
continue providing necessary services to our community.
Consider honoring a friend or relative’s birthday, Bar/Bat
Mitzvah, anniversary, etc. or using this as a memorial gift. By
purchasing a leaf for the Tree of Life, you will not only be
helping the Tree to grow, but you will also be helping TBTST to
grow, now and in the future. There are gold, silver and bronze
leaves available at a price of $180.If you are interested in
supporting TBTST, please contact our office and we will gladly
assist you. You can also email [email protected] or make your
donation online at www.tbtst.org.
Thank you for your donation.Consider TBTST

PRAYERS FOR THE SICK If a relative or friend is suffering from
an illness, perhaps you would like to recite a special prayer for
the speedy recovery of the ailing person. Traditionally, the Hebrew
name of the sick person and the Hebrew name of the sick person's
mother are mentioned during the prayer. It would be helpful if you
would provide us with this information when you make your request.
Prayers for the recovery of the sick are customarily accompanied by
a gift to a deserving charity. The merit of this kind deed arouses
God's mercy and His powers of healing. Although any amount is
deemed appropriate on such an occasion, a gift of CHAI - $18 - or
multiples of 18 - is particularly fitting when pleading for a
person's recovery from sickness. CHAI in Hebrew means life. The two
Hebrew letters which constitute the word - CHET and YUD - have the
numerical equivalents of eight and ten respectively, together
yielding the sum of eighteen. For this reason it has become a
custom to give charity in the amount of CHAI when praying for the
well-being of a suffering person. Enclosed please find a
contribution in the sum of $

Yahrzeit is a Yiddish word, which literally means “time of year”
or memorial. Jews of Ashkenazi descent use this term. Sephardim
call this commemoration nahala, in Ladino. This custom is widely
observed and based on the Jewish tradition of commemorating the
death of a relative.
All the Yahrzeit rituals are deeply ingrained in the Jewish
life. The common rituals that are performed in the honorable memory
of the departed soul include reciting the Kaddish prayer and
lighting a Yahrzeit candle.
Yahrzeit also includes the action of donating charity in memory
of a deceased loved one. Through the performance of the mitzvah of
tzedakah in the name of the departed, the merit of the deed is
shared with the soul of the late relative, as their memory is
enhanced.

Committee’sMazon Project
The WECARE community outreach program operates a food pantry
that provides over 3,500 bags of groceries each year to our
neighbors in need regardless of race, religion, age, gender or
nationality. We could not accomplish this important mitzvah if not
for the generous donations we re-ceive year round from caring
individuals, organizations, schools, synagogues and businesses in
our community. Thanks to United Way of Broward County, we are also
able to distribute fresh produce to needy people through Project
Lifeline. Donations are greatly needed and appreciated to keep our
shelves stocked so we can help the many men, women and children
needing our services throughout the year. Currently, WECARE
provides enough free non-perishable food and fresh produce to
prepare over 65,000 meals for our neighbors in need. WECARE also
collects small toiletry items, provides free medical equipment
loans including wheelchairs, walkers and canes, distributes
hand-knitted items to nursing home residents, and collects
eyeglasses and hearing aids that are sent to New Eyes for the
Needy. Donations of toiletry items and medical equipment are very
much appreciated. Facts about Hunger in Broward County According to
Million Meals Committee, there are 19 active food pantries in
Broward County inclusive of the Soref JCC WECARE Food Pantry, and 4
active food banks. The Broward Regional Health Planning Council,
Inc., Food Security Survey Report notes that 44% of all students
enrolled in Broward County elementary schools qualify for free and
reduced lunches. 15% of 56,873 Broward children live in
poverty.

Consider TBTST for Your Next
Simcha
Your next simcha, be it a bar or bat mitzvah, an anniversary
party or a wedding, will be one of your family’s milestones – a day
you will talk about for years to come. You want the day to be
memorable and you want to look back on it fondly. That is why when
we built our new building we created a welcoming facility for
catered events. Our magnificent new social hall, our state of the
art kitchen, our adjoining bride’s room, and our very attractive
lobby have all been designed with one idea – to make simchas that
are celebrated at TBTST those that will meet everyone’s standard of
excellence. Our caterers are dedicated to helping to organize and
manage your event and to meet your needs and expectations. Please
contact our Temple Office (954) 721-7600 to obtain more information
about our caterers and our facilities.
