Dear Beth El Members,
Due to the evolving nature of the coronavirus pandemic and the recent uptick of cases in our community, we have created a Health and Safety Committee, comprised of medical experts from our synagogue, to advise the board on the best way to keep our members safe during these uncertain times. We want to assure our members that we continue to closely monitor the situation, and will communicate should the need for our current COVID protocols to be modified.
While the Health & Safety Committee is focused on what is in the best health and safety interests of the congregation, we must also rely on each person to follow all guidelines and make decisions that limit the risks to themselves, their families, and others.
The Health & Safety Committee is committed to keeping you informed, answering your questions as they arise and listening to your comments and feedback. Please email Elissa at elissa@bethbeaches.org should you have questions.
Respectively,
The Beth El Executive Board

— Sunday, August 8, 10:00. Your elbow grease is needed! We are going to polish our beautiful Torah silver for the holidays. It has been 2 years since we last had the opportunity to prepare for the Holidays by caring for the intricate yads, breastplates and crowns from our Ark, and I know our TLC is needed. As you can see from past years, before and after.
This is a lovely contemplative hands-on way to begin the High Holiday season. All supplies provided. Please rsvp your interest to Paula Klausner, 904-543-2402 or poopsiek@gmail.com
