As we continue to focus our social action work on immigration and the support of refugees, we are enriched by the opportunity to share stories.

On March 27^th we heard from several congregants about how they, or members of their family, were once strangers in a strange land. The storytellers had expert help in crafting their stories from Jeff Korn, who is a distinguished trainer, actor and BETC member.

Do you have a story about your own or a relative's journey to America?  We would love to hear it! We are gathering stories from members of our congregation, in hopes of printing a "Coming to America" collection.  Register to include your or your family member's story here or send an email with any questions to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Beth El Temple Center's Climate Action Team has organized an ongoing initiative that can benefit the environment and BETC at the same time!  Divert your home food scraps from the landfill; turn them into compost with weekly curbside pick-up service by Black Earth Compost.  Read about the program here.
