May 27 • 2010
t the entrance of Temple
Beth El's Slotkin Foyer,
there were crude tze-
dakah collection bins that were
functional, but not appealing.
The purpose of the bins is to col-
lect donated food, clothing and
toiletries for specific charitable
organizations or other charitable
projects.
Coincidently, the Artists in
the Schools program through
Federation's Jewish Alliance
for Education and the DeRoy
Testamentary Foundation had
guidelines that specified that the
2009-2010 project had to have a
tzedakah connection, be portable
and have an educational compo-
nent for the students.
It didn't take long to come
up with the idea of creating an
attractive, movable box that would
house the collection bins. Portable
was one of the program's guide-
lines, but it was also essential
because so many events at the
Bloomfield Township synagogue
take place where displaying these
bins would be inappropriate.
The students, along with art-
ist-in-residence Michele Sider,
brainstormed the idea of com-
ing up with different charities.
Each student selected a charity to
learn about and was given time to
research the organization, learn-
ing what the charity did and how
and who it helped.
Al Friant, one of Temple Beth
El's maintenance supervisors,
used his expert woodworking
skills to create the basic box on
wheels. The students were then
able to place and decorate the box
with information and pictures
about the charitable organizations
they researched.
Now when you enter the
synagogue, it's easy to notice the
bright, colorful box. Think about
the fourth-graders, the charities
researched and how you can help
fill for those bins for those in
need. Fl
