Happy Shavuot, the holiday that celebrates the harvest, the first fruits, and also the Giving of the Torah.  Shavuot is also one of the three pilgimage holidays and symbolizes the renewal of the fruit of the earth and the grains of the field.  We wish you personal renewal and success in all aspects of your life.  Please join us for Shavuot Services on Sunday, May 27 at 10:30 a.m.

MOTHER'S DAY CONTEST WINNERS!!

1ST Place:  Gloria Kummins

Runner Up:  Richard Rosenbaum

Winning Poem written by Gloria Kummins dedicated to her dear friend, Renee Wilson:  " She has shared her triplet daughters with us and has allowed Bob and me the privilege of serving as surrogate grandparents.  The Wilsons were Temple Beth El members when the girls were born.  I heard about them at Shabbat services and the next day presented myself on their doorstep eager to volunteer my help.  She has inspired me for 12 years with her enviable motherly qualities to be the best darn Grandma I could be. They have brought us immeasurable joy."

Attention all parents and grandparents who have a student in college:

Keep your child, or grandchild connected to his or her Jewish Community.  Here is an opportunity to send them a gift that has meaning to their Judaic upbringing.  We are starting a new program at Temple Beth El called, “Project College Outreach.” You can send one or all of the care packages; it’s your choice.

For this year since we have missed the High Holidays, and because Hanukah is during winter break, these holidays will not be offered but will be included next year.
