In 5770 (2009-2010), we collected 1719 lbs of food, almost 1000 cans, for SOVA's Food Pantry at our CanCreateChange event and raised $3,000 to build, staff and equip our Sister School, the Sudan Djedid School in Eastern Chad at Jump 4 Darfur.
CELEBRATE
Tashlikh at the Santa Monica Beach
Sunday, September 12
10:00am
Join the entire TBA community to toss bread crumbs into the sea with
Rabbis Kligfeld and Leider. Please bring your own sins (bread) and
money for public parking. We will provide the ruah and
God will provide the beach! Meet at parking lot 4N on Pacific Coast
Highway. Parking in this lot is
$8 per car, but it is limited to the first 87 cars. Due to the
popularity of this event, you may want to park in neighboring lot 5N.
Lot 3N is also an option, but the fee for that lot is $12 per car. Be sure to bring cash as credit cards are not accepted.
