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:
New Protocol for Rabbi's Thursday morning zoom discussion group and Friday morning zoom Torah study. As of this week, please rsvp in advance (no later than the day before) if you are planning to attend. Thank you for your time and understanding. You can email Elissa at elissa@bethelbeaches.org

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.
Share your joys, accomplishments, bragging rights of someone you love, children, grandchildren or anything else that is good and you want to shout it from the rooftop. Your Beth El family wants to share in your happiness.
I can't wait to hear from you and all the good news!
Thank you to Bensimon for translating the Male Breast Cancer Coalition self breast exam card from English to Hebrew. Those cards will be distributed internationally to Hebrew speaking people. She worked with the Male Breast Cancer Coalition to do that.
7th night festive and delicious Wine Tasting and Hanukkah party, Dec 16, 2020! Thank you, Tammy Shumer, and partner in crime” Donna Berger, for all your preparation —shopping, schlepping, assembling, decorating —and giving us such a varied and lovely evening. Here’s the preparation, the unpacking, and the candle lighting event.
First Responders Appreciation, Friday, Dec 25.
For the past several years we have cooked and baked and assembled on Christmas morning, then set out to make festive deliveries. We cannot do that this year. Through the generosity of our members, we are safely providing 25 boxed lunches and drinks for our local fire and police on duty that day. We chose to go through Firehouse Subs because they always give back to the first responders, providing lifesaving equipment through their Public Safety Foundation. Your cards and well wishes will also be delivered at this time.
