tlc oMer proJect benefitting the children of flint the omer refers to the 49 day period between passover and shavuot, when it is customary to verbally “count” each day with a special blessing recitation. traditionally, we use counting the omer as a time of self-introspection. We are asking families to donate a dollar for each day, culminating at $49 per family. this year, the collection will benefit the children of Flint who are victims of great devastation due to a tainted water system. donations will go directly to the flint child health & development fund, used to aid children with
interventions that support positive health outcomes. please make checks payable to B’nai torah congregation (memo line: omer project), or visit www.btcboca.org/omerproject. For more information please contact summer Faerman, director of tlc, at [email protected] or (561) 392-8566 ext. 340. Booklets are available in the lobby.
