If you have a student attending college or graduate school please sign them up to receive holiday packages from Sisterhood's College Connection program. Packages and emails are sent to help our young adults celebrate the Jewish holidays. The mission of our sisterhood is to insure that our students feel connected to TBO no matter how far or close to Coral Springs their studies take them. Students will receive four (4) holiday packages during the '10 - '11 school year. Everything from traditional holiday items to cool gifts. And you can be assured that every package has what the kids want most - food and/or gelt. A brief explanation about the holiday is always included (we know it has been awhile since they were in religious school!) Information on Birthright trips, pictures from the Temple and a letter from the Rabbi can also be found. We even include directory information so that our college youth can stay connected with one another. During the holidays we widen our circle to include those less fortunate.We provide holiday packages for our neighbors, university students from JAFCO (Jewish Adoption and Foster Care Options). Please sign up your student for this program by downloading this form. Feel free to contact one of our committee members.
