He immediately joined Temple Beth El\, and became a valued member of the temple community. So much so that he agreed to “unretire” and become the Beth El Mausoleum Director when the opportunity arose.  Since then\, Mike has helped countless people throughout the South Florida Jewish community with their end-of-life arrangements at the Beth El Mausoleum. Through his kindness and expertise\, he has earned the reputation as a warm and caring individual who is honored to help families and individuals every step of the way on what may be a difficult journey. Mike’s overall responsibility for the Beth El Mausoleum includes sales\, operations\, maintenance of the facilities\, and funeral arrangements.  Mike is responsible for scheduling and staffing every funeral that takes place at Beth El\, which number about 100 per year.  You will often find Mike at the Temple on nights and weekends to help a family dealing with the loss of a loved one\, or supporting other Temple programs. For example\, Mike is the staff liaison to Brotherhood and to Beth El Pride\, the Temple’s LGBTQ+ group. He is the first one to volunteer whenever we need extra staff support at large events.  Mike personifies what this award is all about – someone who goes above and beyond their job description for the benefit of the organization.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Marilyn Simon WeinbergJoseph Q.
