UPCOMING EVENTS AT TEMPLE BETH-EL
Purim 5784 Mishloach Manot Project
Be happy . . . it’s Adar! . . . and as the days grow longer -- and sunshine beckons us ahead to thoughts of springtime -- we look forward to the joyful reading of Megillat Esther (the Book of Esther) on Saturday evening, March 23, and to the day-long celebration of Purim on Sunday, March 24. Get ready to plan your costumes, tune up your groggers (noisemakers), and prepare for a fun and festive time in the life of our congregation!
To celebrate the fun of baking together in the synagogue once again, preparing thousands of hamentaschen, and assembling mishloach manot (Purim treats) for the entire congregation, we have chosen a new plan for this year’s Purim celebration, and we hope that it will make you smile. Please click HERE for more information.

The Rabbi Scott & Sharon Glass Endowment Campaign 2020-2024
Temple Beth-El launched an endowment campaign to secure the future of the congregation. Every gift to this campaign, which will conclude in 2024, will be matched for the next four years so as to permanently sustain the amazing TBE community, school and activities associated with the temple. In appreciation for their many years of leadership to our congregation, this campaign is named in honor of our beloved Rabbi Emeritus, Scott Glass together with his spouse, Sharon, who both gave tirelessly to our community throughout their 43 years of service to TBE.
The campaign goal is $2M to be raised over 5 years with the goal, when fully funded (including the challenge match of $1.5M) to provide $100K in annual flow of funds in support of the temple, for operations, reserve funds, programming and as needed capital replacement expenses. For further details, please reach out to the campaign committee chair HERE
