The time away provided us an opportunity to refresh, renew and relax. Here at Beth El we have maintained a very active schedule in the past months and continue to move forward with many great opportunities. The Beth El Yearbook updating activities are in process. This year the L'Chaim pages will honor and celebrate Rabbi Stephen and Judy Grundfast for his 36 years in the rabbinate. This provides a great opportunity to include a celebratory greeting in the Yearbook recognizing their contribution to all of us. There are many to thank and acknowledge for making our congregation vibrant, welcoming and an integral part of our community. First, to all of our congregants who support, provide feedback, volunteer and strengthen Beth El. After all, we are a strong, supportive, generous and caring community. You are the heart and soul of our efforts and you are truly wonderful and greatly appreciated. Our professional staff: Rabbi Grundfast, Cantor Stein, and Erin Katz Ford work together to provide guidance, religious education, moral support in good and trying times and much more. We are fortunate to have flexible, understanding, creative and compassionate leaders. Their efforts along with our congregants make Beth El “the place to be.” The partnerships developed by our move to the Schultz Campus for Jewish Life have been outstanding. The mutual support and coordination with the entire JCC and JCBA has exceeded the most optimistic expectations. Our Board of Trustees has guided us through this year of transition. Their input, insight and direction developed a successful process in the personnel and administrative transitions. We welcome the following new Board members: Jill Henry, Stacey Simonton, Debra Shifrin Newman, Aaron Moskovitz, Rebecca Moskovitz, Esther Hexter and Sharon Merklin. We thank those who completed their term on the Board: Aaron Cohen, Susan Alfonso, Arlene Miller, Michelle Mostow, Dr. Michael Seider, Sheri Glauberman and Trish Crane. Our Officers have been an incredible team working, debating and creating new initiatives and problem solving. Trish Crane, an outstanding contributor and visionary as secretary and vice-president, will be replaced by Jerry Nelson due to her other commitments. Sharon Merklin will become our new secretary replacing Jerry Nelson. We welcome both Jerry and Sharon to their new leadership positions. I wish you and your family a safe, relaxing, and refreshing summer season. Shalom, Marty
