Every week, children of Beth Emet The Free Synagogue members deposit coins and bills into aluminum cans as part of a Jewish practice of righteous giving called tzedakah (pronounced ts-dok-ah). Their parents, grandparents and friends contribute, too, and proving that loose change can really add up, the congregation has distributed more than $100,000 in the past 25 years.
On Saturday June 23, at 9:30am, we will honor Naomi Weiss, who, after having served Beth Emet as our Kahal service leader and b’nei mitzvah tutor for the past six years, has recently accepted the full time position as ritual director at Congregation Beth Shalom in Northbrook.
