ence! Please bring any of the following items to the synagogue:
Canned tuna or chicken, soup, canned pasta, saltines or peanut
butter crackers, fruit cups, juice boxes, Ensure (liquid dietary
supplements), or any other non-perishable, single-serving foods.

The Simcha Tree was designed by Edwin C. Balis and Associ-
ates of Donora, PA, and specially adapted for Congregation Beth
Yeshurun. It has 1,000 leaves and is a collection of special events and
remembrances. Leaves may be given in honor of any special occa-
sion such as births, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, weddings, anniversaries,
birthdays, graduations.. .any occasion worthy of the title “Simcha.”
Those persons honored by a leaf will be acknowledged in The Mes-
sage and receive a special certificate. Each leaf is $600.
The tree would not have been possible without Abram (A.C.)
Farb and his daughter Sonia Raizes. A.C. and his many friends and
family dedicated the original tree in honor of his second Bar Mitzvah
in 1976. Sonia worked tirelessly for many years taking care of selling
leaves and administering the details of the Tree. The original Simcha
Tree was retired in 2003 with the construction of BY2000.
If you would like to purchase a leaf or would like to learn
more about the Simcha Tree, please contact Marsha Weiss in our
synagogue office at mweiss@bethyeshurun.org or (713) 666-1881,
ext. 373. Wording for engraved inscriptions on leaves should be
submitted by the donors.
