2 A message from the president, Lloyd Roitstein What an exciting year it has been for us at Beth El Synagogue! In just a few short months, Rabbi Abraham, Hazzan Krausman and Eadie Tsabari have made such an immediate impact on the life of our congregation spiritually, religiously and educationally and have done it all with a sense of fun! They have helped make Beth El a place that meets our needs as families and as individuals and have infused our members with a renewed sense of what it means to live Jewishly. Believe me, others in the community are starting to sit up and take notice! They join our other wonderful staff, Larry DeBruin, Margie Gutnik, Judy Tully, Melissa Massey, Jeanne Shechet, Cait Leff, Laura Bair and Steve Bolt that make up our great team. Please join me and thank all our wonderful staff and our fantastic Board of Trustees. They have all worked so hard and so enthusiastically to make Beth El Synagogue a better place. They are the best to work with! We have a team we can all be proud of. We are also proud that all of our committees are active, functioning and working to make sure Beth El Synagogue is on the cutting edge of what is innovative with an eye to preserving our tradition. As always, I want to assure you that our number one desire is to serve our congregants. This is OUR synagogue. Anytime you have suggestions, ideas, questions or frustrations, please call me and together we ll strive to figure out a solution. As you read through this booklet, take note of all we are doing. Beth El Synagogue is THE place to be. Bring your friends and family with you to worship, to learn, to celebrate life-cycle events, and to enjoy! We look forward to being with you. 2
