Beth El is teaming up with Beth Torah of North Miami Beach (FL), Beth Israel of Ann Arbor (MI), and Beth El Synagogue of Omaha (NE) to bring you international programming all summer long. Get your virtual passports ready and join us as we travel to Shanghai, South Africa and Greece. A variety of fun, new, meaningful programs will bring our communities together. Programming is free! Some classes may require you to purchase materials on your own. We will also have Shabbat dinners-to-go available for purchase each month!
