Boca Helping Hands has received nearly 30,000 pounds of food from Jonathan Beskin, a local entrepreneur and philanthropist. Beskin is the owner of SinglesSwag and Paradise Delivered – monthly subscription services featuring a variety of full-sized women’s lifestyle products and snacks. In addition, Boca Helping Hands has received several pallets of boxes from Beskin’s companies to gift to their clients.

Based in Boca Raton, Beskin reached out to Boca Helping Hands to donate surplus items from his companies, including chocolate bars, cookies, pies, and cakes. In the past six months, this major act of giving has amounted to 29,527 pounds of delicious treats for BHH clients to enjoy.

“Giving back to the communities we serve has always been amongst our chief priorities,” said Beskin. “As a company based in Boca, we feel fortunate to have the opportunity to consistently support Boca Helping Hands and the individuals and families they serve.”

Inflation, supply chain issues, and lower inventor y have impacted BHH’s hunger-relief programs. The donations from SinglesSwag help supplement some of the decreased donations from community food drives. “We are pleased with the partnership we have established with Jonathan Beskin and his businesses,” said Bill Harper, Director of Food & Warehouse Operations for Boca Helping Hands. “The cookies, cakes, pies, chocolate bars, and gift boxes provide some quality snack items that we can add to the food bags we distribute to our families. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and our female clients are delighted with the ‘swag’ boxes.”

Companies, restaurants, cafés, or grocery stores that would like to get involved or donate food can reach out to info@bocahelpinghands.org.

As one of our country’s most highly respected Reform congregations established in 1967, Temple Beth El of Boca Raton, continues to grow and will welcome Rabbi Elana Rabishaw as their 4th full-time rabbi as of July 1, 2022. She will join the dedicated clergy team that currently includes Rabbi Dan Levin, Rabbi Jessica Spitalnic Mates, Rabbi Greg Weisman, Cantor Lori Brock, Cantorial Soloists Michelle Auslander Cohen and Jake Harris.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Rabbi Rabishaw was ordained in May 2022 at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Los Angeles. Her background includes working as a Rabbinic Intern at Congregation Kol Ami in West Hollywood, as well as working at numerous other synagogues throughout the greater Los Angeles area, including being a summer Chaplain Intern at children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and as a student rabbi in Yakima, Washington.

In her youth, Rabbi Rabishaw spent every summer beginning in 5th grade at URJ camp OSRUI Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. She attended the University of Wisconsin- Madison where she earned her Bachelor’s of Science degree in Community and Nonprofi t Leadership and Modern Hebrew. Following that, she attained a Master’s of Arts in Hebrew Letters from HUC-JIR and a second Master’s Degree in Jewish Education.

In making her decision to join the Temple Beth El clergy team, Rabbi Rabishaw says that “I immediately became excited when I read in the job description that the congregation’s essential value was love – and that it was embodied by, “championing inclusion and lowering bar riers to access while creating as many portals of entry as possible.’ I was sold because this is the essential value that I want to live by as well. Having the opportunity to work in and become part of a community that aspires to live by the same values was exactly what I was looking for in my fi rst rabbinic match.” She continues, “I am looking forward to building out opportunities for young adults to feel part of Temple Beth El. I am also looking forward to building relationships with our families and children, beginning with Summer Adventure Camp and continuing through meeting our teenagers. I will know that I have truly begun to accomplish my goal of building meaningful relationships when familes as me to offi ciate their life cycle events.”

Temple Beth El is thrilled to welcome Rabbi Elana Rabishaw to our clergy team and welcomes the entire community to join us at on Friday, July 1, 2022 for Shabbat evening services at 6:00 pm for a special Shehecheyanu and to meet our new Rabbi! Services will be held both in person at the Schaefer Family campus or can be viewed online via Livestream, Facebook Live or YouTube. For more information, call 561391-8900 or visit tbeboca.org
