Join us as we gather to celebrate another meaningful year at Temple Beth El and honor the dedicated volunteers and professionals who help our community flourish.
Guided by the spirit of Bonds of Love, this special evening reflects the deep connections that unite us—through shared traditions, acts of service, and a commitment to one another. The table has always been a place where these bonds are nurtured, friendships are strengthened, and lasting memories are made. Together, we will reflect on the past year, recognize those who help shape our vibrant community, and look ahead to an exciting future by approving next year’s Board of Trustees and the Temple budget.
Enjoy a warm, classic dinner inspired by traditional favorites, beginning with freshly sliced challah, salad, and comforting matzo ball soup. The evening continues salmon and chicken entrées and sides, followed by a dessert station featuring beloved deli-style treats like rugelach, babka, black-and-white cookies, and more.
Reconnect with friends, celebrate our community, and spend a memorable evening around the table.

What are the responsibilities of a CIT?

CITs follow the direction of the head counselor. Examples of some responsibilities may include: helping students put on their socks and shoes, engaging with the kids during water play, reading to the children, helping to prepare for classroom activities, and providing support during the implementation of classroom activities.
