A message from our president, Matt Shedd

Shalom

What a time to be a member of Beth El! During this our Jubilee year we will  be celebrating our long history of innovation in many areas of synagogue  life. Over the years we have welcomed Jews from all backgrounds and helped  them learn about and embrace our rich heritage. Our celebration this year  will also be a time for setting the stage for our next 50 years.

Please join us for the many events we have planned over the next year. See  the complete schedule on our website (http://www.bethelsudbury.org/community/jubilee/).

Our culture at Beth El is informal. We encourage participation by our  members in all  aspects of synagogue life. We embrace new ideas. If they can  contribute to the experience and help us grow as a community and as

individuals we will give them a try. The proof is in the pudding. Most of our Religious School students continue through the 12th grade, we have written our own prayer books and many of our programs include original material prepared by congregants. We are the only synagogue in the United States to host a Free Medical Program. And music, lots of music, in our Shabbot services is a hallmark of our congregation.

I hope you will join us for the many events we have planned throughout the year. A complete schedule of events is available in the temple office and on our website. Just click on the “Jubilee” link. http://www.bethelsudbury.org/community/jubilee/

There is much more, come in for a visit, join us for Shabbat services or call the office to make an appointment with a member of our clergy. We would love to meet you and tell you more about us.

Coming from a reform Jewish background with an emphasis on ethics, my understanding of Torah and ritual has been enriched at Beth El. The fact that my grandchildren are more observant than I is a source of great comfort.
