Wanted: Hammentaschen Bakers for Purim
TBS is in need of people who might like to bake a dozen or two hammentaschen for our Purim oneg. We wanted to try it this way, thinking people might like to do this at home according to their time schedule and a busy schedule at TBS. We have Robin Rosen-Sharp’s recipe we have used in the past for uniformity.  We would need them done by March 5th and you may drop off in the freezer at TBS.  These are for the Purim oneg as Deb Rogers will be making the ones for the school celebration at TBS with the children and mothers. We need about 12 dozen and if there are extra,  people can take them home. If you are interested please RSVP me in a text or email me and I will give you the recipe.

• Collecting Funds for Cleveland Kosher Food Pantry for Purim
The Social Action Committee is requesting donations to the Cleveland Kosher Food Pantry for Purim, in the spirit of Shalach Manot, giving food to others so they have enough to celebrate this holiday,  Donations may be made online at their website:  https://kosherfp.org/donate-2/. On the donation page please enter Temple Beth Shalom-Purim in the “Message Box,” so the TBS donations can be tallied.  Similarly, please indicate Temple Beth Shalom-Purim on donations made by mail to their address at: 2004 South Green Road, South Euclid, Ohio 44121. In addition to welcoming those who need food assistance to the pantry, food deliveries are made to those with limited mobility.  There are opportunities to volunteer to pack food boxes for delivery.  Please email cheryl.butensky@gmail.com with questions.

• Hudson Food Pantry Requests Assistance
Hudson Food Pantry is in need of laundry detergent donations for our neighbors in need. Each month we are asking three TBS families to donate 2 large detergents — liquid, powder, or pods — each for a total of 6 per month. Families can sign up for a single month or multiple months. The detergents can be dropped off at TBS when open, i.e. Friday services, Saturday study sessions, Sunday school, etc. To sign-up to help go to  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4FABAF2EA3FE3-61572875-tikkun.

The pantry has made a special request for body wash, deodorant and hand sanitizer. These items can also be dropped off any time during the month. There is no sign-up for these items.

For more information about the pantry, see http://www.hudsoncsa.org/food-pantry. For questions about the donation process, please contact Michelle Draper at mldraper@yahoo.com. Thank you!

TBS Lending Library News!

Greetings from the cold weather. I had to come back to Ohio for a few days. I am going back to Stuart Florida today. I broke my foot a month ago and reinjured it a few days ago.  I needed to come home to visit a surgeon. I am on the road to recovery. I will send new book suggestion next week. I hope everyone is doing well.

I would like to make the Library interactive.  If you have a book you enjoyed and would like to recommend it to the congregation email me and I will share the title. (The book does not need to be in the Library) We can help each other learn more about our history and where we are today.
I am looking forward to seeing you at Bingo Night.

All the best, Bill Riter
