We are a Congregation of families and individuals who come together to pray, to study and to create a warm and welcoming community. We seek to preserve and enhance our People's traditions within the context of Conservative Judaism. We aspire to strengthen our Jewish identity to meet the challenges of a changing environment. We endeavor to provide resources to help us relate to G-d, understand the ways of G-d and enrich the Jewish content of our lives. We encourage our members to serve worthwhile causes within our Congregation and the wider Jewish and world communities. We are committed to support Israel. We educate our children so they commit to the cultural, spiritual and ethical values of our People.

PURIM IS COMING! February 28.....Yes, it's early this year!
Purim is just weeks away! One of the nicest traditions of this festival is that of giving Mishloach Manot to friends. This year, Sisterhood will provide a way to fulfill this mitzvah and send a Purim Package for you to members of our Beth El Family including clergy and Staff. Simply place an order through us, select your recipients, and include your special greeting. We will prepare and oversee the distribution of your Purim Package.
One Mishloat Manot will be prepared per family. Each package will have a letter attached with all of the names and well-wishes for that Beth El member. We will distribute the Mishloach Manot during the Purim Carnival and before the Megillah Reading.
There are two ways to place an order. The easiest way is to go online at www.purimproject.com, enter a secure login and username that we have sent (or will send) you, select recipients, and write your greeting.
You also can complete the order form here and a Sisterhood member will process your order. Additional order forms are available in the NSS Beth El Office. PRINTABLE ORDER FORM
The cost is $5.00 per name selected. Please send your check to NS Beth El Sisterhood, 1175 Sheridan Road, Highland Park IL 60035. All checks and orders must be received by February 10 in order for your order to be included in Purim Project 2010.
