“Shalom Y’all… or Welcome Back, Kotter…or Here We Go Again (Mama Mia)”
As I’ve said before, the first is the typical greeting that those of us who grew up in the South use. I will still greet you as “y’all” when we meet at Beth El! So…
Let’s put this very difficult year in the rear view mirror. So…
We’ve come from East and West, North and South all to be together again. So…
From BELLES to Brotherhood, from Family Passover to Family Shabbat, from Shir Shalom to Sisterhood, from Yoga and Youth Boxes for college kids, our home is your home. We would love to see you back at services and welcome you back home.
We are OPEN!
