Beth Yeshurun is joining Faith Organizations across Houston - Muslim, Christian, and Jewish - in a friendly competition to collect food for the Houston Food Bank during National Hunger Awareness Month.
The competition kicks off September 1st and ends on the 30th. We’ll keep track of food collected and post the latest results weekly here on this website. Clergy and educators at the faith centers will provide faith-based messaging about hunger in their communities. Please contribute your non-perishable, not-expired foods throughout the month of September! We will keep you posted on our progress and how we are doing in the "competition"!
We will have donation bins: In the Bender Levy Lobby (the synagogue entrance at the "carpool" lane) In the Administrative Lobby (where the staff and Rabbi's offices are)
Jewish Federation of Greater Houston Community Updates The Jewish Federation of Greater Houston is here to move our community from strength to strength by serving as the leading fundraiser, convener, and connector for our Jewish community. Recently, the Federation completed its 2022 Annual Campaign raising more than $17.7 million to support local organizations and programs as well as efforts in Israel and overseas. The Federation is pleased to announce important ways it is supporting and engaging with the community.
New Community Security Director Hired by the Federation Thanks to the generosity of Joan and Stanford z’l Alexander, the Federation was able to launch Houston’s Jewish Community Security Program and hire its first director. Alfred “Al” Tribble, a former special agent for the FBI with more than 27 years of experience, began in this role in June.
This position supports the entirety of our Jewish community. Tribble will work with leadership at our synagogues, schools, and other Jewish institutions to provide training, do threat assessments, and serve as our community liaison with law enforcement.
Because of the rise in antisemitism and gun violence, including specific incidents in Pittsburgh, Poway, and Colleyville, the Federation has undertaken this effort to help maintain community safety.
The first Town Halls on Security will be held at 7 pm on September 20 at the West Houston Jewish Community Center and on September 21 at The Emery/Weiner School. Community members are invited to attend. To register, please visit houstonjewish.org/security . On the website additional information is also available related to online trainings provided by Secure Community Network (SCN).
We invite you to share with us your simchas - births, engagement, weddings, or award and recognitions. Fill our Mazel Tov form with your information a picture and share your great news with the rest of the congregation. Click here to Submit your Simcha!
