Talking in Shul
   In order to reduce the noise coming from within 
   the sanctuary and to set an example for our 
   children, we encourage all adults to refrain 
   from carrying on conversation during the service. 
   Times when talking is particularly distracting 
   and rude is during Torah reading and when others 
   have yet to finish the Amidah and conversations 
   from those who have already finished the Amidah 
   is all around. The time when talking is at 
   its loudest is after Kedushah of Musaf.
   Please have respect for those around you and for 
   the sanctity of the sanctuary. 

Noise in the Shul
   In an effort to reduce the noise and distractions from 
   the hallways, parents are asked to remind their 
   children that they are welcome to daven with us
   or to go the age-appropriate Shabbos groups 
   that begin at 10 am each Shabbos morning.

Food in the Shul
   Parents are asked to closely watch their children 
   during Kiddush. In order to maintain appropriate standards 
   of cleanliness, for the shul and the many schools that use 
   our building during the week, no food or drink should leave 
   the Social Hall. 

Children's safety at play
   In the interest of safety, parents are asked to tell their 
   children that there is to be no ball playing against the walls 
   of the building or on the steps of the shul or in the streets.  

Butcherie Receipts
   The Butcherie donates a percentage of purchases back to 
   our shul. Please remember to have your Butcherie receipts 
   stamped for Beth El, and to return them to the shul office.

Donations
   Donation pledges may be sent in by e-mail at any time.
   Donations may be made to many funds in the shul, including 
   the Chesed Fund, Torah Fund, Tzedakah Fund, Youth 
   Fund, Library Fund, Adult Education Fund, the Rabbi
   Abraham Koolyk Memorial Fund, or may be made 
   to purchase Chumashim, Siddurim or Machzorim, or may be 
   used to send cards for various occassions. 
   Donations may also be made to the Rae and Joseph Gann
