Home for the Holy Days
The greatest joy from our reno
vation this year is that we will be
eelebrating the High Holy Days in
our newly renovated and expand
ed Temple Beth El home. It has
been years sinee we have been
able to eongregate in our sanetuary
for the High Holy Days for all of
our serviees.
With the addition of the Sandra
& Leon Levine Soeial Hall we are
able to open the Blumenthal
Sanetuary to the north and south
and aeeommodate more than
1,500 people. While this is not
large enough for everyone to
attend worship together, we will
have double serviees for the
evenings and mornings of Rosh
Hashanah and Yom Kippur. We
will split our eongregation evenly
to aeeommodate our numbers, for
both morning and evening servie
es. Junior Congregation and
Babysitting will take plaee in the
Bobbi & Don Bernstein Edueation
Building.
We are working with the
Foundation of Shalom Park to
develop a parking plan sinee there
is not enough room for members
of both Temples to park. May this
new year be a speeial one for all of
Temple Beth El’s family as we
start off 5772 by being Home for
the Holy Days. ^

A Visit to URJ 6 Points Sports Academy
in Greensboro
By Andy Harkavy
After spending two weeks serv
ing as faeulty and witnessing the
exeitement at the URJ 6 Points
Sports Aeademy, I saw exaetly
why this eamp doubled in size
from 224 eampers in its first year
to 450-1- in its seeond year. This
eamp provided young Jewish ath
letes (ages 10-16) the opportunity
to partieipate in traditional eamp
aetivities and live with other
Jewish athletes, all while learning
sports and life skills from profes
sional eoaehes and Jewish eoun-
selors. Children from 32 states and
five eountries spent the summer
forming new friendships, develop
ing their athletie talents, and
exploring their Jewish identities.
This is the perfeet plaee to send
your ehildren if they are an
aspiring young Jewish athlete.
For more information, visit the
6 Points website at www.6
points.urjeamps.org.
Alex Koeh, a 16-year-old
eamper says, “Six Points was a
great experienee. I met a ton of
new friends, I had a lot of fun with
my sport, and I have drastieally
improved my game all while hav
ing fun in a Jewish environment. I
feel so mueh eloser and happier
with myself religiously.” ^
