Buy Scrip -You buy the scrip from the Synagogue at face value and use it to shop for your groceries. You use it just like cash! If you would like to participate just leave your name and number on the phone or e-mail and Marcia will return your call

By purchasing scrip for your favorite supermarket, Beth Israel receives 5, 6 or 10%.  Remember, you pay no additional money at the supermarket.  Stores participating are Giant, Food Lion, McKay’s and Shopper’s Food Warehouse. 

Scrip is now available before and after Sunday School (see Jerri).

Volunteer - Many of our members volunteer their time to keep our congregation working. Among the committees always looking for more hands are Social, House and Fundraising. If you would like to lend a hand and become more involved, just leave your name and number on the phone or e-mail and the appropriate committee chair will return your call.

Make a Donation - Donations can be made to the General Fund, the Children's Library Fund, or can be used to purchase a prayer book, a memorial plaque or a rock or leaf on the Tree of Life. For more information leave your name and number on the phone or e-mail.
