Temple Beth El

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.

Temple Beth El of Fort Myers hosted the Third annual Mitzvah Day event on April 10, 2011 with 287 volunteers doing over 2870 acts of giving, kindness and charity for 24 SWFL nonprofit organizations in just over two hours.

Volunteers met at Temple Beth El for a morning of Miracles and Mitzvahs on Sunday, April 10, 2011. The theme for Mitzvah Day 2011 was Repair, Renew, Reveal…..One Mitzvah at a Time. It was an opportunity for the Temple Beth El community to transform values into deeds and words into actions and join together to become a powerful example of how everyone can truly make a difference and impact our world for the better. Following bagels and a pep rally led by Rabbi Jeremy Barras, the volunteers dispersed to various locations to work on projects benefiting the entire SWFL community.
