Our Newest Congregant
On a beautiful early summer Sunday, this turtle was seen digging a hole for its eggs, right beneath our Temple Beth El sign. What better way to tell the world that we are earth-friendly in every respect. A free aliyah next Shabbat for anyone who can come up with a good caption for this. How about, "TBE: Where you can really come out of your shell!" Or maybe, "The Hole-ly-est place in town!" Or, with a nod to Aesop, "Our services may be slow, but we get you to the finish line." Or "All God's creatures bring their families to Beth El. Why not you?" We welcome our newest member, though I'm not so looking forward to any upcoming brisses.
