Congregation Beth Torah

Yesterday, we welcomed families for our annual Blessing of the Babies. The holiday of Shavuot is a time when we celebrate the “first fruits” of the harvest, so this Shabbat we took a moment to honor the “new fruits” of our community — the beautiful babies who had joined our lives this past year.

During Shabbat services on Saturday, May 23, caregivers, parents, and grandparents joined us on the bimah for a special Aliyah and blessing. It was a joyful opportunity to celebrate each child’s arrival, recognize the blessings of new life, and share in the sweetness of the season together with our community.

Thank you to all of our incredible families who joined us for this joyful day!

As of today, our HundredX campaign has rasied $5,979 for Beth Torah through 179 signups.

That’s the good news.

The other news? We are still leaving more than $15,000 on the table.

HundredX ends on June 2 — just 19 days away — and every completed survey directly benefits our congregation at no cost to participants. Most surveys take about a minute to complete and can be done anytime from your phone, tablet, or computer.

And now, we can officially announce our raffle prizes. The more surveys you complete, the better the prizes get:

• Complete 25 surveys → entered to win an ice cream or frozen yogurt coupon from Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream or Monster Frozen Yogurt

Plus, weekly drawings for sweet treat coupons just for participating!

• Complete 50 surveys → entered to win an Oral-B electric toothbrush courtesy of Shwarts Family Dentistry

• Complete 75 surveys → entered to win a reserved parking spot at Beth Torah for an entire year — especially useful for High Holidays, rainy days, or packed events

And remember, you do not have to be a Beth Torah member to participate!

Please share the link with family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, grandparents, college students, and anyone else 18+ willing to spend a few minutes helping support our community. Every survey completed moves us closer to closing that $15,000 gap.

We’ve already made meaningful progress. Now let’s finish strong — and not leave thousands of dollars sitting unclaimed.
