SHIVA ANGELS

In times of need, we are here for you. We do this for one another…words and deeds of consolation for our Beth El family. What moves you also moves others. Please join us knowing that by helping with a meal of condolence in some small way you’ve eased the burden at such a difficult time. If you want to be part of this, please contact the Beth El office, and join this band of Angels.

Genetics

plays such a outsized role in one’s life. Take my older sister…she’s a natural brunette with red highlights and freckles (our grandmother with her freckles and flaming red hair set the stage). So this sister buys 12 boxes of a different hair color (should last a year), decides she doesn’t like the color and buys 12 boxes of the old color. Over-the-top you might say. Hmmm…I know someone with the same tendencies! Take the congregation. Genetics seem to have invaded our very souls. There is true Caring, there is true Community, there is the truth of Beth El. We really do care. Genetics? No, simply really, really caring people. I’m honored to be a member.
