Where personal excellence is achieved through a powerful community, a true culture of caring, and extraordinary resources. places More than 100 people came out on Saturday, Aug. 12, for a special Temple Beth El Havdalah service at JARC’s Frederick H. Pitt home, in partnership with JARC and The David-Horodoker Organization. The eve- ning began with dinner, shmoozing, games for the children and was fol- lowed by a family-friendly Havdalah service by Temple Beth El’s clergy. It was a beautiful evening and allowed people to reconnect with old friends as well as make new friends.
