Dear friends, 

We continue to be so grateful for your willingness to raise awareness in support of the Boston Living Center and all their remarkable work for those living with HIV infection and AIDS. And, thank you to everyone for their understanding, compassion and support. We are excited to report that our initial fundraising goals for this year's Celebration of Life Annual Event have been well surpassed, i.e. we had hoped to raise $1800 or 100x C'hai!!! We are now beyond $4000!!! Todah Rabah!!!! As Rabbi Stern recently commented upon in his recent Before Shabbat message, we cannot overlook the needs of others who as less fortunate than we are...health-, family-, work- or community-wise.  With less than two weeks left before the event, we have now raised the bar, again, to continue the challenge... from 100x C'hai to 300X C'hai.

As we give thanks this holiday season, know that the Boston Living Center is deeply grateful for all that we are doing in support of their efforts and everyone living with HIV infection and AIDS.

B'shalom,

Temple Beth Avodah's Team
