Beth Ami people lost 286 pounds on Yom Kippur. Actually, we don't know how much weight was lost by fasting, but that's the weight of the food donated during Yom Kippur to the Redwood Empire Food Bank. The strong and resolute Judi and Lyla transported it all to the food bank. There is still a collection barrel in the Beth Ami lobby, it's never too late to help the food bank.

Wishing a good and sweet year to all. Thanks to Ronnie Rosenbach for the use of her beautiful photo. Beth Ami does not charge for holiday tickets, but we do need RSVPs from non-members. find out everything about the holidays at BethAmiSR.org
