Mazel Tov!
Mazel Tov to the following Beth El members on their birthdays!

Andree Allen, Kavanah Anderson, Joel Fleishman, Rob Gringle, Roni Liberman, Kenneth Poss, Steve Rose, JoAnn Rubin, Kim Sampson, Maxine Stern

To all of you who sponsored me in Crop Walk, my many many thanks. I walked 2.6 miles. The day was beautiful and walking in the warmth and sun added to the mitzvah of walking. You are all part of my raising a great deal of money and helping to feed the hungry around the world and here in our area. I set a goal of $2000.00 and exceeded that goal.
Hugs,
Gladys

Do you have a Mazel Tov to share with the Beth El community? Mazel Tovs include the birth of a child, a new job, or something special that you would like to share!  Email emily@betheldurham.org with the great news!
