Temple Israel Nursery
School will begin the new year
with several significant
changes. We are sorry to an
nounce that Lila Josephson,
Director of the Nursery School
for 12 years, has retired. Lila
will be devoting her full time
to a new business venture she
is starting here in Charlotte.
At this year’s graduation pic
nic, Lila was presented a ban
ner made by the children and
a gift from the Nursery
School. The Temple is plann
ing to honor Lila on Friday
night, September 12 for her
years of service to the school
and community. We will miss
Lila and wish her the best of
luck in her future endeavors.
Upon learning of Lila’s im
pending departure, the
Nursery School undertook an
extensive search to find a
highly qualified new director.
We are proud to announce
that this search was successful
and that Mrs. Carol Klein of
Brooklyn, New York has been
hired as Lila’s replacement.
Carol has a Master’s Degree in
Early Childhood Education

On July 7, 1986, the
presidents and secretaries of
Temple Beth El and Temple
Beth Shalom signed the “Ar
ticles of Merger of Beth
Shalom, Inc. into Temple
Beth El, Inc.” forming the
new corporation, “Temple
Beth El V’Shalom, Inc.” This
was the final step of a process
which began over a year ago to
merge the Reform congrega
tions of Temple Beth El,
founded in 1943, with Temple
Beth Shalom, founded in 1970.
The new congregation will
have over 750 members.
Rabbi Robert A. Seigel, who
served as spiritual leader of
Beth Shalom from 1980 to
1986, has become the rabbi of
the combined congregation.
Rabbi Harold I. Krantzler,
who served as spiritual leader
of Temple Beth El from 1976
to 1986, has become Rabbi
Emeritus. Rabbi Krantzler
and his wife Helen will be
residing in California.
Plans are underway for the
construction of our new sanc
tuary and social hall in Shalom
Park. J. N. Pease Associates
has been selected as architect
for the temple. Present plans
from Hunter College. She has
directed and taught in day
care centers in Brooklyn for
seven years.
As most of you know, the
Nursery School will be moving
to its new home at Shalom
Park with the beginning of the
school year. Along with this
exciting change, there will also
be an addition to the Nursery
School program. We will be of
