Boutique Open Until 3:00 pm
We were looking forward to welcoming Julie Silverstein and Tami Schlossberg, authors of The Chutzpah Girls, traveling from Israel for a conversation with our clergy at our luncheon. Unfortunately, due to the war with Iran, they are no longer able to make the journey.
We hold Julie, Tami, and their families in our hearts. We pray for the safety and security of Am Yisrael, the U.S. service men and women in harm’s way, the people of Iran, and every soul impacted in the region during this frightening time.
In moments like these, we gather.
We have summoned our inner chutzpah and we will now present:

Chutzpah Moments
Featuring our clergy:
Rabbi Laila Haas, Rabbi Ashira Boxman, Cantor Lori Brock, and Senior Cantorial Associate Michelle Auslander Cohen.
Four remarkable women. One bima. Loads of Chutzpah!

They will share the the bold choices, leaps of faith and the moments that made them who they are.
Together, we will celebrate the courage, resilience, and fierce Jewish spirit that lives right here in our Beth El community; in the women on the bima, and in every woman in the room.

Brotherhood Football Pool
2026-09-09
Welcome to the TBE NFL Pool – Tackled by Brotherhood!
Whether you are in several fantasy leagues, or only a casual fan, this contest is for everyone! The rules are simple. Select the team that you think will win each game. The person with the most correct answers wins $40 each week. The person with the most wins over the regular season wins $400. Registration is $45. Remaining proceeds benefit Temple Beth El Brotherhood programs. A separate link to join the pool and make your picks will be sent after you complete your registration.
Check out these issues that impact the upcoming schedule:

Several significant trades occurred this off-season, including two-time NFL DPOY Myles Garrett to the Rams, A.J. Brown to the Patriots from the Eagles, premier defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II to the Bengals, and Jaylen Waddle from WR2 in Miami to WR1 in Denver.
New coaches are redecorating offices around the league. Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh are done in Pittsburgh and Baltimore, succeeded by Mike McCarthy and Jesse Minter. Todd Monken is in Cleveland, replacing Kevin Stefanski who landed in Atlanta. Robert Saleh is getting another crack as head coach, this time in Tennessee, while Mike LaFleur now leads the Cardinals.
Add to the mix the wild card situations including Aaron Rodgers finishing his career in Pittsburgh, Aaron Donald potentially re-joining the Rams after un-retiring, and a very low-key off-season wedding between an under-the-radar pop star and the less popular brother of the retired center of the Eagles.

So get your passports ready and join our group for some exotic international football destinations and a lot of fun again this season.
