BETH EL HAPPENINGS

OUR HEARTFELT THANKS AND GRATITUDE

Estelle Beckerman and family would like to thank Sisterhood and their entire Beth El family for all the love and support they received after the passing of their beloved husband and father, Stuart Beckerman.
After much consideration and monitoring, our policy will now be MASKS OPTIONAL. The committee established a metric to determine when masking would no longer be mandatory. We are happy to say, we have reached those numbers. If numbers begin to rise again, we will have to reevaluate.

Shabbat services will continue to be in person (masks optional) as well as via Zoom.
Kiddush luncheons have been suspended until further notice.

Thank you for your support and understanding!
I apologize…

I missed last week’s eblast but I think I have a valid excuse. I was traveling. No matter that only accounted for 75 out of 10,800 minutes in any given week. But that’s my excuse (story) and I’m stickin’ to it. I have to add, it’s cold in Atlanta (59 degrees to be exact), and it’s so difficult to write/type when your gloves are sitting in Florida in the kitchen drawer. Now on to Memphis (Oy, 53 degrees). Does the airport sell gloves? I have extra pairs of socks…will that look weird when I board the plane? It doesn’t really matter because the minute the TSA looks at me they decide to ‘wand” me each and every time I fly. At least, when I walk into Beth El…
