In keeping with the Jewish Tradition of Mitzvot, members of Temple Beth El participated in December’s Mitzvah of the Month: Bold. Confident. Fe^esSj;^^Xs. Is it possible to be jealousof a 2004 JAGUAR X-TYPE 2.5 ^"*''*****'''**'*^^ Permanent all-wheel drive. Standard. ■ If you're talking about the Jaguar X-TYPE, the answer is, undoubtedly, yes. Few cars come close to its amazing personality. Even fever can claim to possess the kind of innovative technology that affords you complete power and control over every road, curve and driving condition. We're talking about highly evolved technology such as variable- ratio, road-speed-sensitive steering, an occupancy-sensing safety system, leather-trimmed interior, eight-way adjustable driver's seat and complimentary scheduled maintenance. And that's only the beginning. Slip into the drivers seat of a Jaguar X-TYPE and jealousy quickly follows. MSRP Starting at *29,995 The Giving Tree The holiday season can be very difficult for those in need and our members made a difference. A star or heart asking for food, clothing or toys was selected from the Giving Tree to help make someone's Christmas or Hanukkah wishes come true. Unwrapped gifts were brought into the Temple office daily and Program Chair, Kelly Gaines, col lected the items not once but twice a day. Thank you. What a wonderful Mitzvah to help provide for our less fortunate neighbors and-, create a sense of community. Not one heart or star was left on the tree (we started with 150). Items from the Giving Tree were presented to Jewish Family Services in time for Hannukah and to area churches in time for Christmas after the pres ents were wrapped at a Giving Tree Wrapping Party held at Temple Beth El. Donations of wrapping paper were greatly appreciated. This was a fun Mitzvah for all.
