From the Gift Shop
During the summer months it may seem
as if the only activity going on at Beth El is
Camp Kee Tov. However, the Gift Shop is
still open and accessible, and our gracious
office staff is always ready to help.
We have just replenished our stock of Shabbat
candles, both the 72-count basic candles and
the colorful sets of twelve from Safed, Israel.
Our Beth El group who travelled to Israel in April
visited the Gabrieli Tallit studio and came back
with a gorgeous new collection. With the High
Holy Days approaching, we have added some
very attractive new tallit sets. Our b’nei mitzvah
students can take advantage of a 15 percent
discount on any tallit, or any set priced over $100.
Parents take note!
Also, in preparation for the holidays, we are
stocking an assortment of shofars in several sizes.
Prepare to add your sound to the congregation’s!
We have a SPECIAL SALE of whimsical candlestick sets
made of poly-resin created by Israeli artist Orna Lalo.
She uses glorious colors suggested by nature to make
each pair individual and special. Usually $88 a pair, we
are reducing them to $60. Quantities are limited.
Visiting relatives this summer We have a number
of suggestions for easy-to-pack gifts suitable for any
occasion.
The gift shop is open Mondays through
Thursdays, from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm,
Fridays from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm,
and by appointment. It is closed on
Jewish and legal holidays. For more
information or to make a special
appointment, please call Odette
Blachman at 510-526-4917.
