The Chariotte Jewish News - May, 1997 - Page 14 Temple Beth El Temple Youth Groups End Year In A Flurry Of Activity By Sharon Damsky As the school year comes to an end, the Youth Groups of Temple Beth can look back at a terrific, fim-fiiled year. Special thanks to Youth Activities Chairperson Ellen Martin for her strong leadership and dedication. Also, our sincere appreciation to Debbie Goldstein, Club 345 Advisor and Cherie Flitton, LIBERTY Advisor fcv all the time and hard work they put in. Finally, thank you to all the parent volunteers and Brian Hitt who helped plan and chi^)erone the wonderdil events. We couldn't have done it without you! The youth groups participated in a variety of activities this year including ice skating, roller skating, bowling, skiing, Lazer Quest, holiday celebrations, sports events, theater, conventions, community service social action, and more. It is our hope that each and every youth member of Temple Beth El found at least one event of interest. With your participation and support, next year will be even better. As mentioned last month, a group of twenty-three 5th and 6th graders from Temple Beth El attended a Charlotte Checkers Ice Hockey game on March 15. Afterwards everyone indulged at Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. A big thanks goes to Jackie Stutts and Debbie Goldstein for planning the evening and to Claire Lind and Ellen Martin fw chiq)eroning. On, April S, Club 345 went to the Omnimax Theater at Discovery Place Museum to see 3-D Lazer Show featuring the music of the Beatles. The evening was a huge success with over 35 Temple Beth El youth participants and 11 TBE ^ult cluq)erones. This was a joint adventure with the youth group of Temple Israel who had 20 members attend. The fabulous show was enjoyed by all and the evening culminated with a pizza dinner. Special thanks to Susan Marx and Esta Wemikoff for coordinating this event. This month. Club 345 will meet on Sunday, May 4 for an afternoon of bowling at Carolina Lanes. This fun event is scheduled from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm. The cost is $5.95 which includes 2 games, bowling shoes, chips and soda. Please call Tammy Colder (542-2710) or Jodie lagnocco (541-6103) for further information. LIBERTY.

The event incoipcrated a simulation contest in which LIBERTY competed. The youth members were assigned different roles to play and had to make choices about how to handle a simulated dilemma of a group of refugees heading to a British controlled Palestine. The scene was one of chaos as "'press secretaries,” "UN Ambassadors" and "Lobbyists" from different countries discussed and debated the different options for the United Nations Plan for the partition of Palestine. The weekend was filled with creative services, programs, music and the excitement of meeting other Jewish kids from around the country. On Saturday night, March 29 LIBERTY members participated in one of their more unusual programs this year: a combination Bowl-In/Shul-In. What is a combination Bowl-In/Shul-In? Well, the evening began at 11:00 pm at Carolina Lanes where over 30 kids, grades 8th-12, bowled until 3:00 am. Then the group (driven by adult chaperones) headed over to Temple Beth El. At the "Shul-In", a few actually slept, while others decided that Ultimate Frisbee might be a good idea! LIBERTY members wish to thank Ellen Martin for her support in planning this event, Paula White (past president of LIBERTY) and two of her college friends for chaperoning at Carolina Lanes. Special thanks also goes out to John Flitton and Roz Meyers for spending a sleepless night at the Temple chaperoning the "Shul-In" and to Judy and Bob Kufert for supplying the bagels for bre^ast.

Got Xhc Best By Allison Levinson For those who haven't yet heard about us, B.A.G.E.L.S. is a new organization fcv adults between the ages of 25 and 40, both single and married. The idea behind the organization is to combine social and educational elements into a single event that tq>peals to people in that age group. Hence, the name B.A.G.E.L.S. which stands for Beth El Adults Gathering for Entertainment, Learning and Socializing. B.A.G.E.L.S. members were spotted boogying to the disco beat of the 70's at the Spring Fling held April Sth in Silverman Hall. The event was cosponsored by several of the Temple Beth El organizations. Said B.A.G.E.L.S. chairperson, Diana Ades, This event was a great way to meet others in a 'let your hair down environment'! Where else can you see people of all ages dancing to the song YMCA?" Second Night Seder was the more traditional setting fcM- the second B.A.G.E.L.S. event of the month. Members were given an opportunity to sit at one of several "B.A.G.E.L.S." tables. From the looks of it and sound of all the laughter, it appeared that ev^one who attended genuinely enjoyed themselves. The next BA.G.EI^S. {banning meeting will take place at Temple Beth El on May 21 at 7:00 pm. Other upcoming events include Shabbat Services on May 16, Mitzvah Day on June 1 and a Bagel Nosh with the Rabbi on June 8. Watch for further d^ls. 0
