The following is from Temple Sharey Tefilo-Israel (TSTI).
Children and teachers from The Iris Family Center for Early Childhood Education at Temple Sharey Tefilo-Israel (TSTI) recently gathered to show their appreciation to the visionaries and planners responsible for transforming the Reform synagogue’s onsite campground. The large-scale renovation of the multipurpose space – which features new benches, trees, boulders, and pathways – was partially funded by a grant from One Happy Camper and the Partnership for Jewish Learning and Life. Joining the early morning celebration were Dan Maus, the project’s designer and contractor, and Sabina Soloway, the center’s nature educator, both of Maplewood; and Carol Paster of West Orange, TSTI’s Director of Early Childhood Education.
Temple Sharey Tefilo-Israel is a vibrant Reform congregation located at 432 Scotland Road in South Orange, N.J., that offers Early Childhood Education, Religious school, teen programs, lifelong learning for adults, and a full complement of religious services and cultural programs each month.
