We Want Your Feedback on EmetMail! And We've Got Prizes!
We recently consolidated BE Connected and EmetMail into one weekly e-newsletter, to be sent on Tuesdays! We've simplified the categories, updated the formatting, and made it easier (we hope) to read all that is happening at Beth Emet and how to get involved. Now that we have a few weeks under our belts, we would love your feedback! Our goal is for the e-newsletter to be as straightforward and informative as possible!

Soul Stitchers was created and continues to create shawls to be given to those who are sick or may need an extra hug from Beth Emet. Several BE Soul Stitchers got together on Sunday, July 10. They talked about the progress of their healing shawls and the upcoming Kabbalat Shabbat service on July 29 when the shawls will be displayed and presented to Beth Emet. More than 20 shawls have been knitted or crocheted this year and the BE Soul Stitchers are continuing to create new ones. New members are always welcome!
