It's important that your child
makes the right connections.

Temple Beth El is a good place to start.
Rabbis Daniel Polish and Julian Cook, along with Cantor Gail Hirschenfang, are heartily committed to
helping our children make the right connections.

What are those connections? Children need to connect with themselves and who they are. And who they
are in their families, their community and the world. And they need to connect with God.
We give them the time, opportunity and spiritual guidance to explore and discover our heritage and our
faith. They learn to pray and talk to God:They learn to read the Bible and study with their parents. And with
other parents. They learn what it is to be part of a community. With time, they'll feel the comfort of being part
of our extended family. We'll celebrate Holidays together. We'll rejoice in Shabbat together. We'll applaud their
performances in plays together. And we'll sing together. _
Our older children are encouraged to look at what it means to lead a life of goodness. We help them see
that part of this is to give something back to the community and they go out to become involved and lend a hand.
We also take a look at morals, ethics, love, history, our heritage and a lot of other topics that our kids want
and need to know about. We talk. We listen. We connect. And we have a lot of fun.
If you wish only the best for your child, help him or her to make the right connections. At Temple Beth El.
