EJ's 5k Run/1 Mile WalkNow fondly named "EJ’s 5k," this annual family-friendly walk/run connects the great philanthropic work of Mr. Goldsmith with the faith-based idea of caring for our bodies and souls. Running therefore becomes a spiritual exercise and more than a matter of simply logging miles. Whether you are a runner or a walker, a family looking for enjoyable afternoon, or an individual seeking a deeper connection to your overall well-being, experience EJ's 5K to build bridges for youth in our community.

This year's EJ's 5k Run and 1 Mile Walk is Sunday, November 14, 2010 at Temple Israel.

Temple a Go-GoThe Temple a Go-Go party on Nov. 21, 2009 was a tremendous success.  All proceeds will help those Temple Israel members who need Temple now more than ever.
