Maccabi Games

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The JCC Maccabi Games staff just wanted to say how happy we are that some of your synagogue members will be a part of the JCC of Greater Washington’s delegation.

The Games are still in need of volunteers and host families. And if your congregants are so inclined, please have them visit our website at www.jccgwmaccabi.org and follow the links, or go directly to the online registration page at www.jccreg.com.

Some synagogues have contacted us to place a congratulatory advertisement in our ad book, and so we are offering you the same opportunity. We are enclosing a list of your member-participants as of June 7 as well as the ad book reservation form. If you have any questions about ads, please contact Steve Carver at 301-881-0100, ext. 2777.

We have extended the deadline for congregations to respond to Weds., June 23.

  The Rescued Torah Fund has now reached $4700.00. If you would like to contribute, please send your donation marked Torah Rescue Fund to the Religious School office. Our goal is to raise $10,000.00.
  
  Friday night and Saturday morning services are held throughout the summer. For those who have not met their 2003-2004 Junior Congregation requirement, this would be a good time to do so.
