The Social Action Committee of Beth Emet, along with LifeSource, is holding our Annual Blood Drive in the Herman Crown Room on Sunday, March 21, from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. 

He who saves one life … is as if he saved the entire world. (according to the Talmud Sanhedrin 37a).  By giving blood, you can save three lives* as you perform the mitzvah of Pikuach Nefesh.
 

In general, you can donate if you:
    * Are 17 years or older.
    *16 with signed parental consent form.
    * Are in good health.
    * Weigh at least 110 lbs.
    * Have not donated in the last 56 days.

 



Beth Emet offers bagels and cream cheese, coffee and juice, the Sunday paper (copies of the New York Times  and others available), and the opportunity to schmooze with other members while you are in the Herman Crown Room for the drive. LifeSource also provides goodies, like apple and cranberry juices, bottled water, cookies (oreos, animal smackers), pretzels and popcorn.

Win Cubs Tickets. Get a free Chair Massage. LifeSource and its partners have been particularly generous to us this year. Anyone participating on Sunday, March 21, is eligible for a drawing for two tickets to a Cubs game this season. Also, there will be free 5-minute chair massages

If you cannot donate blood, you can help by asking others, not only members of this congregation, but friends and colleagues, to participate.

Email Blood Drive Chair Andrea Lubershane for any other questions.

*HOW YOU SAVE THREE LIVES: Your blood donation is separated into three products: A pint of blood yields red cells, platelets and plasma.
