Upcoming Events
Nursery School Casino Night Saturday, March 11 at 8 pm
The Beth El Nursery School board presents the return of Casino Night! Save the date for an evening of casino games and cocktails for a good cause- reimagining and remodeling our beloved playground. Win big prizes at our Vegas-style tables, enter the poker tournament, shop our silent auction, or try your hand at holding a drink and a cone of Mikey Dubbs at the same time! This event is open to all 18+ Beth El members and their guests.
Havdalah for 3rd grade Families Saturday, March 18 at 7 pm
Calling all families with 3rd graders! We can't wait to end Shabbat with your families on Saturday Night, March 18! We will meet at Rabbi Fisher's home (68 Old Orchard Rd.), although Beth El will be a backup location in case we need more space. We will meet at 7 pm for a light, dairy dinner and games. Then at 8 pm, we'll join together for Havdallah and a bonfire (s'mores included!).
Join us to celebrate the women of the Exodus and the role that they played in the Passover Story. We will tell stories, sing and enjoy a light dinner to get us ready for a meaningful Pesach! This will be an in-person event only.
