Purim with a Purpose is back this year and we are again creating a very special day of service and learning for our Religious School students. During the Religious School Purim celebration, we will again partner with the Karsh Center and work to improve the lives of our underserved neighbors by creating three types of gift bundles: baby supplies, kitchen essentials, and Mother's Day pampering. You can help sponsor this effort by donating a gift bundle for $36. More information is available at wbtreligiousschool.org/purim

When Aaron and Blaire Kaplan sit in the Temple’s main sanctuary, they often feel as though they are traveling through time. “If you close your eyes and listen to the prayers, you can’t help but transport yourself back to when the temple was built,” they said. 

When Rabbi Leder spoke with the Kaplans about the new Audrey Irmas Pavilion, it struck the couple on many emotional levels. the Kaplans are hopeful that their youngest daughter’s celebration will be among the first in the new Audrey Irmas Pavilion!  

The desire to help with our recovery efforts following the devastation caused by the Woolsey Fire at Camp Hess Kramer and Gindling Hilltop Camp has been overwhelming, and we are so very grateful. If you’d like to help in our Camp Recovery, please visit wbtcamps.org/recovery. Many alumni and camp families have responded by holding special and unique fundraisers for our camp recovery effort.
