As we continue to join together for Shabbat via Zoom, please note that we are now offering attendees to read prayers that are meaningful to them during the service. If you are interested in reading a particular prayer during a service, please contact Neal Goldman at nealg18@novusba.com with the page number of the prayer in the Mishkan T’filah prayer book. Please indicate whether you would like to read during the upcoming Friday evening or Saturday morning service. All prayers will be read towards the end of services.
Please send this information no later than noon the Thursday prior to the service. We look forward to continuing to join together as best as we can during these challenging times to support each other and our community. The online version of the Mishkan T’filah can be found here:

We can all use some good news. Please submit anything you would like to share with your Beth El family by Thursday at 5 PM to elissa@bethelbeaches.org.

I can't wait to hear from you and all the good news!

Update!
It worked. Got the first Covid vaccine shot. After all the aggravation, no negative reaction. Now, onto “just as aggravating a situation”....trying to get through to Apple about the iPad. I have called, chatted, emailed, all to no avail. So, if you have received “Birthday Wishes” that are duplicated, sent on the wrong day, sent to you when it was your spouse’s birthday, Apple is not helping solve these deplorable miscues! Can you imagine that? Not able? Give me a break! Surely, a company with all this know-how should want you to get Birthday greetings on your actual birthday. Surely, how hard could it be? Surely, chocolate cake, chocolate frosting, and chocolate ice cream to you on the appropriate day and for the appropriate celebrant is not too much to ask! Wait....I’m getting a text.....uh....that was Apple. It seems that “user error” is to blame. Sorry. I will have to have a long chat with that user! But, in the meantime, bear with the user. Don’t forget to return your Reopening Survey.....this user did it! Hopefully, it gets to the right place!
