Beth El Connected (B.E. Connected) Groups
B.E. Connected Groups are forming at Beth El! We are excited to launch this new initiative and invite you to participate!
What are Beth El Connected (B.E. Connected) Groups?
Chavurot Initiative At Beth El — As you heard on Rosh Hashanah, we are launching an ambitious strategic initiative at Beth El- to seed and grow 100 chavurot over the next 10 years. And it couldn’t be timelier. This year even more than years past, we have felt the need to be together as a Jewish people. Chavurot will strengthen Beth El and our Twin City’s Jewish community when we need it most. We are thrilled you want to get involved! As we begin to organize, please indicate your initial interest here. We look forward to organizing chavurot leaders in November and launching the initial small groups!
