[Beth Deal]

Shalom,

Hope everyone's summer went well. The High Holidays are upon us and
I'll be sending out info on services as I get it. The Smith/Amherst
Hillel info is below. UMass Hillel schedule is on their website:
www.umasshillel.org . If you want to celebrate in a local synagogue
contact Rabbi Bruce Seltzer (Smith/Amherst) at bseltzer at smith.edu or
585-2755 for tickets.

That's all for now.

would the rabbis advise us? What do you  think?  Join Leora Maccabee
