Have a great summer BERS! What a year!
What a great year! Thank you to our dream team of educators who helped make this the best year yet. From Pre School to High School, there is something for your child at Beth El. Sundays are literally Fundays. We have three Hebrew immersion classes, bar and bat mitzvah prep classes, and regular, but super engaging Sunday school classes. The Chai Mitzvah Teens program was incredible. See our BERS in the Fall.
Mitzvah makers
Sunday Funday at Beth El Religious School!
A BIG thank you to all the parents who came to help us with the Rosh Hashanah honey cake baking.
Also, a yasher koach to our Chai Mitzvah Teens whose mitzvah this week was to help lead honey cake making stations and a card making station. It was a sticky job, but they did it well! Some went with me to Brookdale Assisted Living Home to deliver to the delicious cakes to the Jewish residents. More cakes will be delivered to two other assisted living homes, and a few of our Jewish friends. We also have cake to serve everyone at BE on Rosh Hashanah!
We are proud of our BERS kids for all taking part in this wonderful mitzvah. We hope to see everyone on Rosh Hashanah. Check out our website for all the service times.
Also, meet us for Tashlich at Bull Creek on Thursday afternoon at 4PM for a casual, beautiful Tashlich service and time with friends.

Happy Summer BERS – see you August 27
Have an amazing summer BERS. We had the ultimate fun last day of school with all the kids learning about Shavuot. dancing the Israeli song Saleynu and then having an absolute blast with beach balls that they each received and a lovely collage of photos that all their classmates signed.
We are so lucky to have this unbelievable year, with sweet dedicated children, talented teachers and a variety of experiences, from gardening, to special guests from Israel and so much more. Looking forward to a great 2017-2018. Please contact us at info@bethelaustin.org to register for next year.
