Support Temple Beth El
Our building is 25 years old. We need a new roof, upgraded technology, upgrades to our administrative office. The Simcha Preschool play yard is now being redesigned and improvements will be coming soon. We need everyone to support our Building Fund to continue to improve and care for our beautiful Jewish Community Center.
