BE in College For many years, the Synagogue Life Committee has mailed holiday gift packages to our college students for many years. This academic year, we will launch BE in College Packages. Rather than sending one package to our college students, we will mail three packages over the school year! These packages will help to observe Shabbat and holidays and let our students know that they are part of the Beth El community.
To sign your child(ren) up for the 2015-2016 academic year, visit BE in College. |
