SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY CLINTON CONGRESSMAN BOB TURNER
Rabbi's Article
It is hard to believe that summer is over and the High Holidays are almost here. So much has happened in the last few months here at Temple Beth El that I would like to share with you.
We are now in the 21 st century! We have a website: www.TempleBethElMB.org Please visit our website, which is a work in progress, to find out more about our congregation, our activities, the Shabbat Torah portion and candlelighting time and much more. Please do share with us any ideas or suggestions in order to improve it. We thank all who have already visited it and given us their input.
Attendance to our lively services continues to increase, and we still have the pleasure to enjoy enhanced Kiddushim after services that invite people to linger and enjoy the company of friends. Please come and join us if you have not been to our regular services lately. I am confident that you will be very pleasantly surprised and, of course, welcomed very warmly.
We face a serious challenge, and we need your help in dealing with it. The demographic nature of our neighborhood is changing, and because of that we have very few young families moving into the area. We currently do not have member families with children of age to enter the Aleph class of our Jewish Enrichment Program (a.k.a. Hebrew School).We need to get an influx of new students into our Hebrew School in order to insure its viability and our future. We have launched an enrollment campaign, using an attractive flyer, offering free enrollment to any new students, with no membership requirement, and topping it off with two free seats for the High Holidays for the student's family. Please help us make this offer widely known in the community. Tell your friends and neighbors, and even better call the office and ask for copies of the flyer to put in people's mailboxes and to post in the bulletin boards of your building or the businesses you patronize.
The second paragraph of the “Shema Israel” , perhaps the most beloved and well-known Jewish prayer, reads: “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children.” (Shema reading, from Devarim 6:5-9) Let us insure the transmission of the words of the Torah to a new generation of children. We need your help in making sure that everyone knows that that is possible here because we are:
Temple Beth ElEl, where the family that prays together… sits together!
Le Shana Tova Tikatevu May we be inscribed in the book of life!

Thank you Rabbi! Through your efforts and perseverance Temple Beth El now has a website
www.TempleBethElMB.org – in formation
Message from the President
After finishing a year as your president, I must thank all that helped to make it a good year for our Temple. Rabbi Kupchik helped bring us together and to move forward. Thanks to Rabbi Kupchik, we now have a website, www.TemplebethelMB.org.
Please help us enrich this site.
Maureen Lerner and her staff, Donna Ahsanov and Janis Rubinsky, have been extremely helpful. The officers and committee chairs have done their jobs well. Harvey Lerner, my predecessor, has given wonderful guidance.
We have increased our attendance at services on Friday night and Saturday morning, and offered wonderful kiddushim and Oneg Shabbath, where social gatherings occurred. We have monthly guest speakers on Friday evenings which have been enlightening to the large audiences that have attended.
Most of all, we need both new members and the support of all of our members. We need your ideas and we need your financial support.
I am looking forward to greeting you during the High Holiday season. May the year 5773 be a year of good health, happiness, peace, and prosperity to all of you as well as the Temple.
L’shana Tova
