This is both an exciting and bittersweet time for our congregation. With spring upon us, we look forward to new beginnings; beginnings that will help determine our long term future. Yet it is also bittersweet as our current rabbi, Ronald Mass, will be retiring to begin the next phase of his life. To continue the circle of life, Rabbi Michael Churgel will begin his tenure as our rabbi on July 1, 2103.

Rabbi Mass has been with Temple Beth El for close to 30 years and it is difficult to see him leave. He and his family have grown with us and it is our fervent wish that they have many wonderful, happy and healthy years together.

While he has asked that we not hold any special event in his honor, we will be recognizing Rabbi Mass at a special service and Oneg Shabbat on Friday, June 21, 2013 beginning at 7:30pm. Join the Temple family as we wish Rabbi and Hagit a healthy and happy next stage in their lives.

With equal fervor and excitement, join Rabbi Churgel for his first service on July 5, 2013 at 8:00pm.
