As noted in our message to the community, the Beth El building is closed as of March 15, 2020. Based on the CDC’s and state and local health agencies’ recommendations to encourage social distancing, we at Beth El intend to put that principle into practice.

We will be using Zoom, a videoconferencing platform, for many of our online offerings. Click here for a short tutorial on how to access a Zoom meeting.

Jew It At Home: A Journey to the High Holy Days and Our Higher Selves
Series: August 3 through September 11

The 49 days between Pesach and Shavuot take us from liberation to revelation through the counting of the Omer. The 49 days between Tisha B’av and Rosh HaShana take us from revelation to liberation, according to Rabbi David Markus. As he teaches, from the focus of buried in darkness (revelation) to the gates of teshuva opening wide for spiritual renewal (liberation), through this Summer “omer” we return to our beginnings.

Jew It At Home is offering 6 weeks of programming leading up to Elul and the High Holidays. Each week will focus on a different Jewish virtue as a way to start preparing yourself for the High Holiday season.All you need to do is register once, and that link will give you access to everything happening.
