Beth Chai Purim Party, Burning Tree Elementary School

We celebrated on March 16, with the theme "Channeling our Ancestors – What Would Happen if our Biblical Ancestors showed up at King Ahasuerus’s Court?"  There were prizes for all children and ADULTS who came in costume, plays and games for the children, and, of course, hammentashen.

Beth Chai Auction, Burning Tree Elementary School

The Beth Chai Auction took place on Sunday, March 2, and the proceeds exceeded all expectations. Between the auction and the Café, we took in $18,000, close to 20% more than in previous years. This total was enhanced by some major purchases by non-members and some direct donations. For this, thanks go both to our generous donors and our members and guests who made purchases.
