Outdoor Summer Services Are Back!
Outdoor Summer Services Are Back!
As in years past, we will celebrate Shabbat in our beautiful Outdoor Chapel* all summer long. In July and August, we will welcome Beth Am members to share words of Torah during the service. As is the Beth Am tradition, the divrei Torah will be given by Beth Am members or invited guests. In August, we encourage you to invite prospective members, who might be interested in learning more about joining the Beth Am community, to join us for our outdoor services.
Please note that events on campus will start on time. If you want to schmooze, please plan to arrive early. For any outdoor programming, please be sure to bring your own water bottle, sunscreen and hat, as needed.
Friday evening services will continue to be live streamed on our website at betham.org/streaming and on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.
