A Message from our Events and Rental Coordinator Penny Samuel
Since joining the FLJC team in September, I have had the pleasure of meeting many members of the Fair Lawn Jewish Center/Congregation B'nai Israel.
I have also met many people at local Jewish organizations who have a long history at our synagogue. There have been hundreds of people who have had baby namings, B'nai Mitzvah and weddings right here in our building. All have expressed their fondness for our community and will gladly contribute where they can to enhance the synagogue.
Publishers and community leaders have asked for 3-4 weeks notice to give as much publicity to our events as possible.
We ask that you work hand in hand with us, by submitting all the details of your events at least 1 month before the program so that it can reach the greater Jewish community.
Thank you for your help in this matter and I look forward to hearing from you.
Penny Samuel
Event and Rentals Coordinator
