Message from our President

Dear Member of The Temple Beth El Family:
 
As we approach the beginning of another Jewish New Year we are reminded that a large portion of our yearly expenses are incurred at this time in support of High Holy Day activities. We are able to support these services and our other activities through your contributions as Temple members.  During the last year we also replaced the walkways around the Temple as well as the landscaping. This summer we also replaced the school house roof which was long overdue.
 
Please send your payment to:
 Joyce Potoff
3440 N. Thomas Rd.
Freeland, MI 48623
 
L’Shana Tovah
