Temple Beth El  to Screen “Race to Nowhere”

Temple Beth El of Northern Westchester will screen the award-winning documentary, Race to Nowhere on Sunday, September 18, in the temple’s new Social Hall. The movie, by Vicki Abeles, focuses on high-pressure school cultures prevalent in high-achieving school systems.

The event is being sponsored by the Interfaith Alliance on Youth Issues, a group that represents a wide range of synagogues, churches and mosques in northern Westchester.

A panel discussion to follow will probe questions such as: Can our faith guide us towards redefining the meaning of success? How can our spiritual beliefs and religious teachings help parents and children regain balance in their lives?  How can we utilize spirituality as well as religious teachings and values to help us cope with these issues?

The panel discussion will be moderated by Rabbi Geoffrey A. Mitelman of Temple Beth El. Panelists will include Dr. Lyn McKay, Chappaqua Superintendent of Schools and Pastor Paul Alcorn of Bedford Presbyterian Church. For more info, visit www.bethelnw.org.

Great Chappaqua Bake Sale

The 2nd Annual Great Chappaqua Bake Sale on October 1st from 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m. at 1 South Greeley Avenue will help fight the national childhood hunger crisis. Last year’s sale raised almost $6,000 and was one of Share Our Strength’s Top Ten national fundraising teams. Share Our Strength supports a “No Kid Hungry” initiative to end childhood hunger by 2015. Last year, over five million meals were served in “affluent” Westchester County–50% to children, according to the Westchester Coalition for the Hungry and the Homeless. More than 17 million children in America are at risk of hunger. These children have trouble learning, get sick more often and can’t grow, develop and learn like other children. All proceeds fund programs in New York State that feed hungry children. Just $25 can feed one child three healthy meals every day for a month. For more info, call Allison Spiegel, 917-693-3407 or email thegreatchappaquabakesale@yahoo.com
