Ma’ot Chitin is the annual Passover fund that helps our less fortunate brethren celebrate Passover with joy and respect. To perform this Tzedaka that has been practiced by Jewish communities around the world for centuries, please donate online or write a check out to Congregation Beth Israel, and write “Ma’ot Chitin” in the memo line.

This year, Pesach begins on a Monday night. To make your preparations easier, we are offering meals at the shul on Shabbat HaGadol, April 11 and 12, so you can clean your kitchen and start your Pesach cooking before the weekend!
We will be serving a Friday night dinner, Shabbat lunch, and offering a Family Se’udah Shlishit on Shabbat afternoon.
Cost for Friday dinner: $16/adult, $8/ages 5-13, $54/family max
There is no charge for Shabbat lunch, but we’d like to get an accurate head count for food preparation purposes.
Please note that if you do not register in advance, we will unfortunately be unable to accommodate you at the meals.
Join us for a communal celebration of Chag Purim with a delicious se’udah, entertaining shpiel, and a Kid Zone for the kids.
Please RSVP by March 10, 2014.
