Growing pains - As our synagogue expands and beautifies, we are temporarily unable to house our Semi-Annual Garage Sale on May 7th and 8th this year. We will be back bigger and better than ever for the sale in November. Please keep those donations around just a little longer and we'll let you know when we can start collecting them again. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding, The Sisterhood of Congregation Beth Emeth.
The Congregation is cordially invited to attend the installation of the new Sisterhood Board during Shabbat evening services. We are delighted to have our own Ellen Wagner serve as our installing officer. Ellen is the Vice President of the Mid-Atlantic Region of the Women of Reform Judaism. Hope you will join us!
