Do you have a child/children in college or entering college?  Can they still be Jewish while they're in school?  Of course they can and Temple Shalom can help.

Each year in the Shalom, an announcement goes out to the congregation asking for your children's college address.  Now with so many congregants using email, you can send your child's college address by email to the Temple Office or you can do it the old-fashion way, "snail mail", with a stamp to; Temple Shalom, 5 Ayrmont Lane, Aberdeen, NJ  07747.  Whichever way you choose, get your child's address to the Temple Office so they won't be left out!

Several times a year Debbie Ross sends out goodies to the students.  The package generally is centered around holidays, although the first mailing usually goes out sometime in September.  This is a time when most first year students are just getting used to being away and lovin' it! The mailings usually consist of a letter from Rabbi, sometimes Cantor, always some goodies and a toy or something useful like a tooth brush, pad/pens, a disposable camera or an album.

Parents, please make sure your child's address is correct, so we don't have any returned packages.   This committee is privately funded and Debbie generally tries to stay within a $5.00 per child per mailing amount, that total does not include postage.

One can also contribute to the COLLEGE FUND.  Please send your contributions to Temple Shalom indicating it is specifically for the "College Fund".
